Yeah, nothing ever happens. Except in the current day and age, decades happen in weeks, so the same happening with AI is not a stretch. I mean, just consider the capabilities of LLMs - if you look at it from a pre-COVID perspective, even knowing all limitations and strange failure modes up front, it's insanely impressive. To say that AI can contribute to a quickly arriving dystopia (not sure about utopia) is far from unreasonable.
