I believe focusing on hypothetical future risks distracts us from the real, present challenges of AI. The rapid advancements we've seen are still within narrow domains, not indicative of impending artificial general intelligence. By fixating on potential far-future scenarios, we risk overlooking immediate concerns like algorithmic bias, data privacy, and job displacement. These issues affect people right now. Preparing for speculative AI takeover scenarios seems premature when we haven't even solved basic problems with current AI systems. Our resources and attention would be better spent addressing today's tangible AI challenges rather than catastrophizing about uncertainties decades away.
