Why would that be crazy? AI is an extinction level threat that directly competes with humans.

Why would anybody pretend it's a good thing? Honestly you'd have to have something wrong with you.

Obviously, all the people that disagree with your framing and see AI as the largest possible boost to mankind, giving us more assistance than ever.

From their standpoint, it's all the negativity that seems crazy. If you were against that, you'd have to have something wrong with you, in their view.

Hopefully most people can see both sides, though. And realize that in the end, probably the benefits will be slow but steady (no "singularity"), and also the dangers will develop slowly yet be manageable (no Skynet or economic collapse).

Imo Openclaw type AI has the most potential to benefit humans (automating drudgery while I own my data as opposed to creating gross simalcrums of human creativity). I suppose it's bad for human personal assistants, but I wouldn't pay for one of those regardless.
