>For a tech subreddit, this sets the bar extremely low when dealing with an incredibly complex, nuanced subject.

I don't consider this to be a proper tech subreddit. The implications of the singularity itself are fantastical. If you want to get gritty in the tech itself there is machine learnings, ai, subs etc. There are actually some posters here (and other places) that are much more careful about its speculation, it would probably be easier have a debate with them.

> AI to have a good public reputation, maybe consider being better stewards of it than this.

I think this overestimates this sub. The impact of AI will be determined by governments, businesses, the organic reaction of culture, and perhaps by the AI itself. A subreddit is not going to make or break it.

I agree people should be more grounded, but this is not meant to be a tech sub.
