From a layman's perspective when it comes to cutting edge AI, I can't help but be a bit turned off by some of the copy. It seems it goes out of its way to use purposefully exhuberant language as a way to make the risks seem even more significant, just so as an offshoot it implies that the technology being worked on is so advanced. I'm trying to understand why it rubs me particularly the wrong way here, when, frankly, it is just about the norm anywhere else? (see tesla with FSD, etc.)

"I'm trying to understand why it rubs me particularly the wrong way here"

Would I be correct to assume that superintelligence might have a negative effect on your earning potential in the future?

When I originally had my responses to this, this is one of the reasons I came up with. But, now that I see through most of the BS, I am OK...

It might not necessarily have a bad effect. It would create new capabilities and those will be followed by new products. AI is amazing at demand induction.

Yes, but the immediate emotional response to this stuff is not rational or well informed.

At least in my case, when this stuff just came out and I didn't really understand it...
