> Relative to the best humans,

For some reason, the bar for AI is always against the best possible human, right now.

It seems that 90% of discussion about AI boils down to people who feel threatened by it in some way, and are lashing out in irrational ways as a result. (Source for 90% figure: Sturgeon's Law.)
But doesn't this also apply to the other side of the argument? People are invested in AI either professionally or financially just emotionally because they want it to make their lives better, and so they loose sight of AI's flaws.

I don't know who is right—which IMHO what makes this topic interesting.

1. X could happen.

2. I would hate if X happened.

3. Therefore X is not possible.
