There seems to be a divide in what people think will happen in the future. But the conclusion should be the same.

Option 1: AI is a hoax and will never amount to anything. Conclusion: We shouldn't invest in all this crap.

Option 2: AI super intellegence can be a thing and is really really going to suck. Conclusion: We shouldn't invest in all this crap.

So why can't we get society to all agree, we shouldn't invest in this crap.
