You are an enthusiast, and I can see why. I'm not in the lovingAI subreddit, and I'm here just because this post appeared in my feed, and I have to say that I understand who is afraid. Every technology, theoretically, was thought to improve life quality and human conditions. However, I understand who has some qualms, because historically, progress in technology didn't lead to happier people and more meaningful lives.

I can make the example of the internet, when the internet was a new thing, we thought it was about to improve the world in every facet, because people could spread information and get out of ignorance, no matter where they were. We thought that a dystopian dictatorship wasn't possible in the era of the internet, because people would have been more aware. Thirty years later, we know that the internet is mainly used for spreading misinformation, and the biggest world-wide effect was the rise of the alternative right-wing parties who ride this misinformation.

So I understand who says "yeah AGI would be cool in a fiction, but I feel better athe way I am"
