No, it’s not. Too many people watched that movie and thought it was real. It wasn’t. What we call “AI” is not alive, not autonomous, and does not act in unanticipated ways. The people pushing this narrative are idiots, or think you are.
I'm the author. I'm a clinical psychologist and a developer. I wanted to articulate one aspect of AI safety and AI doomer talk that I feel is overlooked: the danger of refusal training itself. It's astonishing to me that there has been so little focus on the fact that "refusal and alignment training" itself could be the very way in which we lose control of AI. So this is my attempt at a self-defeating prophecy write-up.
