The author is not worried about AI itself, but about the panic and hype that marketers and early adopters create around it. They see AI as a useful tool in advertising for generating ideas quickly. While it may lead to some job losses, it is not going to be the end of humanity. The author’s concern is more about the possibility of a “cretin” using AI to appear like a genius and the potential consequences of this. The author believes that this scenario would represent a victory for the robots, unlike what is depicted in Hollywood movies. The author is also worried about politicians using AI in this way.
Overall, the author believes that AI can be a powerful tool, but people should not overhype its capabilities and should consider the potential risks and consequences.
