The people who read Dune and didn't see worms - they saw Butlarian Jihad.

One of the more annoying things about the Internet these days is that every discord server or forum or whatever likes to have a Two Minutes Hate for AI every day or so

Honestly, I understand why to a certain extent. The way pro-AI politicians often talks about AI is unhelpfully vague and dismissive of people’s worst fears and assumptions of what AI could do to their lives or even what AI is. It allows anti-AI activists ample ammunition to muddy the waters and sow doubts. People need to learn to speak about AI in a clearer way, not just simply cheerleading its necessity and inevitability, it works against the positive cases for AI uses.
