Both The Media and the Biden Government at the time hyped up Covid as this absolute terror, causing millions of people to get scared.
And more than one million died because of covid in the US alone, so there was reason to be wary.
considering all that, isn't it possible that like Covid, much of the negative news about AI could be either a flat-out lie or just heavily exaggerated to make it sound far worse than it actually is?
Which negative news? That AI is, for the time being, just a scam, with little added value, despite the trillions sunk into infrastructure which is a burden on energy and water supply? There is well-documented evidence for that.
