   I love that “you sound scared” has become a way to shut down critics of AI.

   …yes.

   yes, I absolutely am scared of it.

   No, I’m not ashamed of that.

   I don’t hate AI. I don't believe it’s going to destroy us terminator style.

   But I’m scared half to hell of the misinformation, political divisions, unemployment, manipulation, spam and deepfake porn and what it’s going to do to our world.

   Like it or dislike it, everyone should have a healthy level of fear about what this technology can do.

     @Daojoan "scared of AI" as in "scared of mold". Like mold, it's not going to become sentient and eat us all. But also like mold, it has a tendency to spoil previously good things, and my preferred amount of it in my (information) diet is zero with very few, carefully selected exceptions. Those exceptions, or the bries among the internet mold that is AI, are things like automatic transcription or translation.
