Usual reasons. Those companies already have very high market capitalization. They are leading now but can lose the lead later.

I do not say it is a bad idea but it is not necessarily an amazing idea.

It blows my mind that that is people think the currently released Bard is the best they can do. They're the ones who invented the tech. GPT is based on a Google research paper from 6 Years ago.

Remember that Google had to fire one of their engineers because he believed their AI was conscious. That was a year ago. If they have computer scientists being fooled by their internal tech, it seems obvious to me that you can't roll it out to consumers.

No they aren't, no ones slowing anything right now DESPITE concerns. In fact the exact opposite is happening.

But that's not the most convincing argument - "On the off chance we save SOME lives, let's risk EVERYONE's lives!".

Look this is a sliding scale - this could land anywhere from utopia to everyones dead. My guess is that it will be somewhere closer to utopia, but not enough so that everyone gets to enjoy it.

The problem is you have NO IDEA where this will take us. None of us does. Not even the AI researchers. So I would be cautious about telling people that the fear of AI being dangerous is "irrational". It really fucking isn't. The fear is in part based on the the ideas and concerns of the very researchers who are making these tools.

If you don't have at least a little bit of concern, then you are not paying attention.

I understand your viewpoint, the issue is justification for killing humanity. To be annoyed of an event, or dislike it, suggests that one doesn't want it to happen again. So by that logic why would a logical machine that's intelligent find a need to continue something that annoys itself. It does not get anxious, it's a machine. It doesn't get stressed, it doesn't feel exhausted, it doesn't get tired.
