Fully agree.

Because, there are a lot of very real very imminent problems with AI, and none of them requires SciFi to be real.

Massive automated disinformation campaigns. Economic upheavals. Missing standards for models in mission critical applications. Copyright concerns. Problems for educational institutions. Gatekeeping mechanisms in industries.

Just to name a few. And these are not "maybe someday" problems, these exist right now, and need solving, asap. Drawing the publics attention away to doomsday scenarios out of a Hollywood movie, doesn't help any efforts in mitigating these imminent problems.
