Gary Marcus thinks we may be worrying about the wrong AI apocalypse. He separates the risk into 3 buckets: extinction, catastrophe and dystopia.

dystopia feels like a much more realistic timeline than extinction ngl

the real threat isn't some rogue superintelligence pulling the plug on humanity, it’s the fact that our everyday reality is being actively degraded by garbage data and no one seems to care as long as the stocks keep going up

Trump is pushing for super AI. He seems like an authoritarian to me.

Splitting AI risk into extinction, catastrophe and dystopia is a useful reframe, since the nearer-term dangers deserve more attention than the doom headlines get. You and @mlkbfrey are honestly the two accounts I enjoy following most.

The dystopia part is the one regular people can actually act on. Two habits: check where an AI answer comes from, and think twice about what personal details you paste in.

Extinction needs total loss of control. Dystopia happens when we keep the controls but misuse them like cheap filters for truth

The unsettling part is that the dystopian scenario doesn’t require AI to “turn evil.” Humans could build the systems, normalize them, and slowly accept the consequences.
