Decoding the AI Panic Button

- Yesterday, the media was abuzz with news of, you guessed it, another open letter proclaiming AI as a super scary, existential threat to humankind, with industry figureheads jumping on the bandwagon. Chill, people! Fear sells – but don’t feed into it.
- Case in point? ChatGPT. Yes, it entertained, puzzled, and scared many. But let’s face it; the hype around ChatGPT seems more like a case of embellishment than anything else. In reality, it’s a product that’s not even that close to being a genuine AGI (artificial general intelligence).
- It’s worth noting that some of the people pushing for AI regulation are conveniently associated with incumbent AI companies. It makes you wonder if this sudden concern is a ploy to gain market dominance and snuff out competition. Coincidence? I think not!
