I wonder how many other people are avoiding discussing their true beliefs about AI for similar reasons? I definitely don’t judge anyone for doing so, there’s a lot of subtle discouragements for disagreeing with an in-group consensus, even if none of it is deliberate or conscious. You might feel that people will judge you as dumb for not understanding their arguments, or not be receptive to your other points, or have the natural urge to not get into a debate when you are outnumbered, or just want to fit in/be popular.
