All this AI doomerism & world ending talk is unhealthy & dangerous for people’s mental health. “The world will end in 6-12 months”, then people won’t save & start acting more recklessly. What’s the point of thinking long-term if the world will be over in 1 year? It’s bad for people’s lives & psyche

Rather than trying to assume or guess if it’s true or not; that’s irrelevant.

The fact is all this talk massively exacerbates people’s fears and anxieties.

Anxiety is fight or flight.

All the uncertainty, unpredictability and unknown is very bad especially for younger people.

“What’s the point of studying a degree if AI will replace it in 1 year?” All that debt to just be replaced by a Robot or AI?

Nobody is considering the mental health implications!
