I am so tired of these self-serving theatrics. These bosses take advantage of the fact that most people don’t remotely understand how “AI” actually works, building up this aura of omnipotence and inevitability, the net effect of which is to pump their company valuations that much more. They want people to think they’ve built Skynet, because that sounds super valuable - much more valuable than the (admittedly useful) mindless human mimics that they’ve actually built.
