Why can't there be a middle ground? Why does it need to be either a completely useless fad or some terrible tool for evil that destabilizes the world? Its likely we'll just use it to write unit tests, allow natural language to be an interface to more complex systems and an alternative to search.

I do think that this wave of AI should show we(society, the world, etc...) are not actually prepared for real significant AI break through. Kind of like covid19 in hindsight wasn't as bad as it could of be and we all got really lucky because of that, we really weren't prepared to handle that well either.
