People who are publicly pro-AI like Trump are simply fucking idiots in my book. Let me explain:

Reasons to be publicly pro-AI: It's an inevitable future, and you wish to seem smart by predicting the future. (Unfortunately, it's completely obvious that it's inevitable, so nobody will think you're smart at this point.) You don't want others to get there first, or you want to use AI to your own profit. (Okay, but making your opinion public isn't going to help, then. Basically, this is something that the governments will be doing in private, inevitably.) You are selling AI tech to others. (This is really the only excuse that makes any sense, but most of us aren't that person.)

Reasons to be publicly anti-AI: It's the most dangerous technology in history, so at the very least, you should slow the progress down. It's probably going to be the most economically disruptive technology in history, so you need to slow the fuck down. If you're actually pro-AI, isn't it better to be publicly anti-AI? If the tech is so good, then you'll benefit from others refusing to use it. If you're a company that makes AI today, then warning the public about AI gives you a better chance to control the market and keep new companies out with a huge barrier to entry.

Being publicly pro-AI right now basically labels you as an irrational idiot or maybe a person who sells AI tech.
