Raw LLM Responses

AGI is 5 years away now? In the 1960s it was only a year away so now we really need to step up our game. We are going backwards. My theory is that they have realized that stoking fears of AI is more effective marketing than saying it is amazing and awesome. If a company says their product is great, people are immediately suspicious of their corrupt incentive to push their own product. If a company says that they "need to be stopped" because their product is "too amazing and might destroy the world" then people will be more willing to believe it. Because why would a company purposely say something so negative unless the concern was real? It is reminiscent of those old car lot advertisements where the speaker would say that their prices were "too low to be believed" and were "irresponsible" and would result in the lit losing money. This version is more sophisticated, but I think it is trying to exploit the same mental vulnerability by bypassing doubt. If they were really, really concerned about the actual danger of AI, they would just stop making it. Or they would ask for specific regulations that stopped their customers from buying it to replace human workers. Because the danger with the current tech is *real* but it is not sentient AGI, it is the increase in automation disrupting the economy and driving income inequality.
