People are naturally risk averse, so it's a lot easier for us to see potential disasters. That's probably a big part of why we don't end up having many of those disasters.

AI: “Existential Crisis” or Excuse for Cronyism?

I tend to agree with the author. There's a lot of people overestimating what AI (in its current state) is capable of. My take is:
- AI is neither purely beneficial nor entirely harmful, its impact depends on use.
- Dystopian predictions of AI are overly dramatic, but caution and criticism still sound as a good idea.
- Regulatory measures should be developed for responsible AI development, but beware of hyper-regulation.
