A lot of people at $job, even ones who should know better, think they’re witnessing the rise of Skynet, seriously. It kind of makes the AI hype in general make a lot more sense. People just don’t understand how LLMs work and think they’re literal magic.
I'm imagining a strange future reality where "AI" that can't really innovate and shows no convincing signs of creativity still manages to take over large swaths of the world merely by executing basic playbooks really well using military tech previously provided by (now defunct) governments. Like a grey goo scenario except the robots aren't microscopic.
