For years I've been hearing that "One day AI will be smarter than humans and we'll all be doomed."

"Nonsense," I said. "AI is very stupid, and not getting noticeably smarter." And I was right.

But I didn't think about the fact that there were two ways that prophecy could be fulfilled.

@cholling there's a line from Arthur C. Clarke's "Childhood's End" that has haunted me since I read it: "He had always been a good piano player, and now he was the best in the world."
