I have been thinking about AI booster reactions to crash/bubble popping speculation, versus all the stupid shit CEOs have said in the name of AI's infinite growth. I think I have narrowed it down to a certain angle: what claims and by who are seen as "predictions that MUST be right lest you lose credibility" and "mere content creation / speculation / hopeful thinking".
It is generally in the CEOs and temporarily embarrassed CEOs favor. They are allowed to say the stupidest shit imaginable and predict AI doing things that are literally impossible for it to do, but these are passed to the boosters as just generating some content.
I don't know. I know what I am thinking but I lack the particular brain juice to make it coherent.
But there is a strange, default assumption on AI's success and infinite growth as the base state of reality, and the burden of proof and credibility stakes seem much stronger against the critics than they are the boosters.
