We're talking about big tech employees. So you are saying they study computer science, spend decades studying machine learning, but they get night terrors based on what a English literature major who had never used a computer in his life banged out on a typewriter in the 1980s?
You use advanced mathematics to create LLM's and keep up with the latest published research but when you consider the risks of these models it's "the CGI in that Hollywood movie makes a very compelling argument?" Probably missing the point that the Hollywood movie robot baddie is probably a metaphor for communism or just a twist on slasher baddies, or whatever?

Maybe you are. I am talking about all AI fear.
"The premise that AI fear and/or fearmongering is primarily coming from people with a commercial incentive to promote fear, from people attempting to create regulatory capture, is obviously false. The risks of AI have been discussed in literature and media for literally decades, long before anybody had any plausible commercial stake in the promotion of this fear."
Here's the list you've requested: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AIIsACrapshoot
The linked article is talking about lobbying by big tech, including a letter signed by 1100 industry leaders and also statements by big tech employees insighting fear in people. Whether your grandma is scared of AI for unrelated reasons because she watched Terminator isn't really relevant, it seems to me.
