Maybe. But to me exile is what happens when a King has to live in another plushy castle because he’s no longer welcome in his own country. Deportation is what happened to the Jews and minorities that got sent to Auschwitz. And if you’re calling it mass deportation I don’t think you are trying to hide the cruelty anymore. Cruelty is the point.

Maybe it’s because I’m German. But deporting someone sounds just as inhumane and cruel as the reality we live in.

If AI is only a “parrot” as you say, then why should there be worries about extinction from AI?

You should look closer who is making those claims that “AI” is an extinction threat to humanity. It isn’t researchers that look into ethics and safety (not to be confused with “AI safety” as part of “Alignment”). It is the people building the models and investors. Why are they building and investing in things that would kill us?

AI doomers try to 1. Make “AI”/LLMs appear way more powerful than they actually are. 2. Distract from actual threats and issues with LLMs/“AI”. Because they are societal, ethical, about copyright and how it is not a trustworthy system at all. Cause admitting to those makes it a really hard sell.
