This is one reason why I want AI to be as free and accessible as possible as quickly as possible. People are going to assume that AI is nothing short of magic until they get a chance to play around with it themselves. The sooner people stop panicking about things AI currently isn't and likely won't be for a very long time (if ever), the better we can focus on preventing it from being used inappropriately.
I don't think AI is going kill me in my sleep, or make us all unemployable, or brainwash me, but terrible AI could easily screw me over in all kinds of ways as companies and governments increasingly use it without oversight. AI replacing front line customer service/support is bad enough but police, doctors, and HR departments will happily use it and mistakes humans would have prevented will be inevitable.
