As AI continues to develop, so does the hysteria that AI will soon take over and relegate us to a dystopian future. AI can have good and bad uses, but it cannot control itself.

Artificial intelligence, like any technology, has followers and detractors, there are those who adopt it before and others later, others never.
They have positive and negative aspects generally associated with its correct or incorrect use. So it is not surprising that there are paranoids about AI, like those who are always saying that Bitcoin is a scam and that the internet is no good.
The proper use of any technique or procedure carries responsibility.
Of course, for people today that is erased from their minds, because only in a very perverse mind does the idea of publishing child pornography, violent acts and things like that fit, and it is more worrying that these publications have so many views and are shared so much.
So it's the Internet's fault?
Would the misuses of AI be the responsibility of the AI?
The issue is not the technology, the techniques, the procedures, it is the use to which they are put.

The question of accountability is pretty interesting. Like most non-sentient tools, I would imagine accountability is with the owner of the tool. However, that probably gets really murky when we're talking about users violating the terms of service.

So over the AI hype as well as the alarmism and doomerism. None of it will age well.

Alarmism and doomerism never seem to age very well.

AI has utility. Not as much as the hype says. Not as much as the alarmists say either.
Here's a prediction though. There will be tradeoffs no one has considered. There usually are.

I mostly agree. Where I differ a bit is on the utility. I think the issue is more that we aren't as close to AI having immense utility as the hypers would have us believe.
It reminds me of the dot com bubble. The issue wasn't that the internet had less utility than people thought. The issue was that the utility was further in the future than they thought. Ultimately, the utility of the internet vastly exceeded expectations.

I agree with that. AI has been improving over the last 20 years. This is not the first time I've heard many of these predictions and your comparison to the dot com bubble is apt. That's what I think of as well. Along with the blockchain boom in the 2017 era.
