What the AI debate is really about
Briefly

The tendency to pit 'doomers' against AI 'optimists' oversimplifies concerns and overlooks the nuanced perspectives in the ongoing discussion about AI's potential dangers and benefits.
Many who raise safety concerns about AI aren't predicting doom for humanity but are simply advocating for prudent regulation, much like energy sector regulations prevent disasters.
Most individuals in the non-doom camp aren't genuine optimists; many are skeptics who believe we may be in an AI bubble, echoing the cyclical nature of tech hype.
The normalization of AI skepticism reflects broader fears about algorithmic bias, concerns over market consolidation, and a mix of profit-driven enthusiasm alongside cautious critiques of technology.
