I meant buying into capitalist marketing :p
Good point besides that!
Yeah, I guess what I was really answering to was the comparison with Luddites. Luddites never thought tbe tanning machines were sentient beings taking over, and I don't think most of the people criticising AI as a threat do either. The use of the word "AI" is questionable, but it's been used for a long time to refer to even more basic programs, like pathfinders or programming videogame enemies.
It is hard to disentangle the corpo AI hype slop, the genuine attempts to move technology forward, and the public's flawed understanding of both. It be a source of many a confusion!
