some say it will cure all diseases and lead to utopia. some, like you, say it will be "100% strictly negative".

i don't really understand either take. nothing else in the world is so perfectly black or white. there will be good, there will be bad.

i think i especially dislike the "100% strictly negative" take, considering the good things that ai has already done or accelerated.

Can't you see the pathway where the individuals who are experts in their fields utilise AI to make breakthroughs like these mathematicians finding breakthroughs in mere 4-5 years since the advent of LLMs. In other areas, The bottleneck seems to be physical experimentation which researchers are increasingly utilising for new ideas and pathways like how anthropic is concentrating on. It's all about money/status/pride/ envy but are these endeavours solving problems or not. That's why even utilize innovations from bad humans like DBS etc. that's why we tolerate capitalism and markets as well whereas socialism utilises these same sins and makes even worse human atrocities.
