> We are scared of AI being smarter than us, the "human helped the AI" narrative is more psychologically comforting.

We're scared of big tech companies concentrating ridiculous amounts of power, destroying the communities that support and guide scientific research, without even thinking about the dangers and possible consequences, because a PR stunt is more important in the short term.

If this were true, it should be stated more clearly, than most of the criticism which seems to aim to minimize the capabilities of these models.

Way more often I see

>AI is a scam and steals human insight and doesn't produce anything original

vs

>AI is too capable/powerful and will concentrate power even more than it does already due to its capabilities

The latter is rarer because it requires admitting that AI is useful and inventive
