How do you define an AI doomer? I’m wondering if I’m one too.

My position is that I think AI is an amazing tool, but that’s it. It’s like any other tool we humans have developed before – we use it to create more quickly, with less effort.

Personally, I don’t think we’re anywhere close to achieving AGI, and I find the tech bros’ AGI fantasies appalling.



Mostly I just find discussions about/including it tiring, uninteresting and predictable.


Well, AI doomers are people who think AI will doom humanity. Thus the name.


I was probably misusing the term in that case. I have a negative and pessimstic view about AI, but I think humanity will be fine.


That makes a lot more sense actually
