I’ve had this conversation too many times to not make a meme out of it.

    What is an ai doomer in this case? I know llm’s can’t get to agi, but I’m confident we are going to try to burn the world down to prove it.

      Not sure if I’m coining a term here. I meant people whose primary existential concern right now is ChatGPT becoming Skynet and enslaving or hunting humanity to extinction. There are hundreds of them on r/collapse on reddit. Apparently there’s a whole youtube rabbit hole that convinces people of this. Edit: I guess I would also include people who think LLMs will imminently–and actually–replace all human workers; as opposed to human workers being laid off due to promises from AI salespeople that could never live up to reality.
