>You've never experienced crypto bros saying invest or get left behind, you've never seen AI bros say learn AI or get left behind? How about cloud? You've never met a home security salesman? Insurance salesman? FOMO is a thing. Scare tactics is a thing. I'm sure you can prompt any AI for more examples.

This seems like a pretty clear false equivalence. "Our product will hurt you" is very different from "you'll be hurt without our product". Your examples are all of the latter; AI companies are saying the former.

>And besides, even if there are no examples whatsoever, so what? You think LLMs existed before LLMs? Therefore LLMs can't be a thing?

You suggested that warnings about AI from AI CEOs could be dismissed as standard "scare tactic" marketing. This isn't standard marketing!

>You keep ignoring my arguments with nothing substantive, then grab on to one thing as if that makes a difference.

If you can't be intellectually honest ("sincere") on this narrow point, I don't see much reason to invest effort in responding to other things you say.

Cheerio.
