In terms of danger or general-purpose-ness? Because on both counts, there is only hype (cf. AI Winter).

Voted neutral, but overall slightly more optimistic than pessimistic.
Optimistic that it will make many things more efficient, research, business, education...
Pessimistic about the following items:
-
It will make the internet a worse place. Less real interaction, more fake bots. I wonder if AI will lead to a renaissance of in-person interaction as people just totally give up on the internet as a place to interact or find connection.
-
It will increase inequality as now even repetitive knowledge work is going to get automated away.

Strange question...
Optimistic about its commercial success or pessimistic about possible misuse?
Anyway, I'm optimistic about AI becoming a major and game-changing technology, helping us to handle complexity and leading to a better world.
