There is another big and growing group: charlatans (influencers). People who don't know much but make bold statements, select 'proof' cases. Just to get attention. There are many of them on youtube. When you someone on thumbnail making faces this is most likely it.

Here[0] is a perfect example of this. There are so many youtubers making videos about the future of AI as a dooms-day prediction. Its kind of irresponsible actually. These youtubers read a book on the the down fall of humanity because of AGI. Many of these authors seem like they are repeating the Terminator/Skynet themes. Because of all this false information, It's hard to believe anything that is being said about the future of AI on youtube now.

Not as many as on HN. "Influencers" have agendas and the stream of income, or other self-interest. HN always comes off as a monolith, on any subject. Counter-arguments get ignored and downvoted to oblivion.

		I’m spending a lot of time on LinkedIn because my team is hiring and, boy oh boy, LinkedIn is terminally infested with AI influencers. It’s a hot mess.

		If you type "AI" into the youtube search bar it's quite impressive. I think they win.
