A bold claim to make with little to no supporting evidence

We are 7 years into a cycle of people baselessly claiming that "AI" will soon develop superhuman abilities and might just take over the world, before killing us all. I don't think there's any way to take part in this discourse without making somewhat unsupported claims.

We haven’t had LLM agents for 7 years

They claimed these problems LONG before agents were the new thing. To my eye it started with the bullshit around GPT-2, and that was in 2019, 7 years ago.
