Unlike you, other people are looking ahead at the end-state of AGI, and perceive the current state of AI development as an unexpectedly rapid progression towards that state.
It's starting to look like the achievement of AGI might be closer than we think. And that's an absolutely terrifying possibility, as the game theory is almost identical to nuclear weapons development, except with significantly more existential risk for those who don't achieve it first.
And never forget, you are just generalized fancy autocomplete with a semi-malleable goals framework.
The main problem I see is this being a next gen spambot.
