I strongly agree. I’m glad you wrote this post. I tweeted about this a few weeks ago.
I have also had reasonable success in convincing normies that worrying about AI risk is sensible, or at least not crazy, in the last few months. Oddly enough, GPT-3 hasn’t impressed people as much as DALLE-2, even though the former seems scarier/more capable to me.
I have yet to bring it up in policy circles, but I think the Overton window on AI risk has widened quite a bit.
My brother was recently very freaked out when I asked him to pose a set of questions that he thinks an AI wouldn’t be able to answer, and GPT-3 gave excellent-sounding responses to his prompts.
