Totally spot on. I think the affect heuristic is at play in every other post you read about AI - it's really tough to be in awe of certain aspects of the technology while at the same time recognizing the massive risks and significant ethical compromises that are going into its development. At times, you almost feel like the skeptics and pessimists are rooting for the new models to get worse or fail while boosters keep pointing to the future where all the current issues will be solved. We all know deep down the reality will likely be much more complicated.
