This is feeling like a retread of climate change messaging. Serious problem requiring serious thought (even without “AI doom” as the scenario, just the political economic and social disruptions suffice) but being most loudly championed via aggressive timelines and significant exaggerations.

The overreaction (on both sides) to be followed by fatigue and disinterest.

Or maybe, just maybe, AI doom isn’t a serious problem, and the lack of credible arguments for it should be evidence of such.
