I'm more emphasizing how fear effects our perception of reality and causes us to behave irrationally.
There's a difference between facing and acknowledging your fears versus running away and deluding yourself against an obvious reality.
What annoys me is that there's too much of the later going on. I mean this is what literally happened to the oil industry and tobacco industry. Those execs weren't just lying to other people, they were lying to themselves. That's what humans do when they face a changing reality that threatens to change everything they've built their lives around. And by doing so they ended up doing more harm then good.
An in depth conversation with chatGPT shows that it's more then a statistical word generator. It understands you. This much is obvious. I'm kinda tired of seeing arm chair experts delude themselves into thinking it's nothing more then some sort of trick because the alternative threatens their livelihood. Don't walk the path of the oil or tobacco industry! Face your fear!
I mean, you're right, but isn't it reasonable to fear this? Just about all of us here on HN depend on our brains to make money. What happens when a machine can do this?
The outlook for humanity is very grim if AI research continues on this path without heavy and effective regulation.
