I can't believe anybody honestly thinks that building a powerful AI is honestly a good thing. It seems that we're all trapped in a "keeping up with the joneses" style race where even if every individual person agrees that building AI is a bad thing, they're not able to stop because they still want to beat the competition and reap the rewards. And once there are millions or billions of these AI agents running around each of whom is smarter than every human on earth, good luck trying to predict or control them..

Some people say they do, you know, summon the thermodynamic god and /wipe out all of humanity/ optimize the light cone according to the Jarzynski-Crooks fluctuation theorem.

According to the polls, yeah, it's unpopular.
