It only becomes a problem if the actions you take, are a one way street and net negative.

I for sure take AGI serious enough for my job, that I will not take out a big loan anymore.

But there are also indications right? If a lot of smart people say similiar things and they are wrong, thats a lot better to have trusted them than believing some weirdo with a sign "Aliens are coming".
