I absolutely believe that's the origin of the hype and that the doomsayers are playing the same part, knowingly (exaggerating the capability to get eyeballs) but there are certainly true believers out there.
It's pretty plain to see that the financial incentive on both sides of this coin is to exaggerate the current capability and unrealistically extrapolate.
My main concern from day 1 about AI has not been that it will be omnipotent, or start a war.
The main concern is and has always been that it will be just good enough to cause massive waves of layoffs, and all the downsides of its failings will be written off in the EULA.
What's the "financial incentive" on non-billionaire-grifter side of the coin? People who not unreasonably want to keep their jobs? Pretty unfair coin.
