One recent post I read about improving the discourse (which I seem to have lost the link...) agrees, but in a different way: adding a "capable vs not" axis. that is, "I believe AI is good enough to replace humans, and I am pro" is different than "I believe AI is good enough to replace humans, and I am against" and while "I believe AI is not good enough to replace humans, and I am pro" is a weird position to take, "I believe AI is not good enough to replace humans, and I am against."

These things are also not binary, they're a full grid of space.

I think that's just the opinion of someone who doesn't think AI currently lives up to the hype but is optimistic about developing it further, not really that weird of a position in my opinion.

Personally I'm moving more into the "I think AI is good enough to replace humans, and I am against" category.

    Yeah, I meant like, at the full extreme of "and it never will". Someone with the position you describe wouldn't be at the far end, but somewhere closer to the middle.

Huh? The recipe how to be in this position is literally in the readme of the linked project. You don’t even have to believe it, you just have to work it.
