Hey! I'm in QC too. Doing QML stuff.

I agree about all this hype about AGI/AI.

I keep seeing people talk about ChatGPT like aliens have fallen from the sky and told us there are multiple gods.

Why is it so hard for people to have realistic expectations regarding technology?

Honestly, it feels a mix of two things for me.

Science fiction books and movies have for the most part portrayed AI as this scary boogey man figure.

Theres a lack of interest in understanding AI, and a lack of communication from innovators of AI

Great response. Thank you.

As a fan of sci-fi myself I completely get it. Heinlein wrote a book about a computer starting a political revolution. Dope book, highly recommend to anyone. But, like, nah.

I agree totally with the lack of interest in "understanding" AI.

What good would the communication do if people are not interested in the technicalities?
