That's not exactly what I've heard called a doomer. Doomers are the ones who think we're building the wrong AI god.
reply(But I agree with you fwiw)
Most gods have never been observed to have any real world impact. Only their worshippers cause real world effects. So god is not a bad analogy even for doomers.

replyMy take is that most art, prose, and code was really bad before AI too. Now there's just more of it good and bad. It's like hating that YouTube exists because cable TV was so good. Now anyone with a camera can make and upload whatever nonsense they want but in the end lots of very good content was made on top of the huge pile of rubbish.
