I mean, the existential risk guys like Nick Bostrom and Eliezer Yudkowsky quite explicitly didn't get it from Terminator. Yudkowsky, for instance, credits "Gödel, Escher, Bach" as inspiration for his thought, which is a rather techno-optimist book itself, and derides the idea of Terminator-style e-risk as, to a first approximation, too anthropomorphized.
Technological optimism, is fundamentally a lobbying movement that incentivizes Silicon Valley, hyperscale companies and Billionaires to acquire even more power over America's future. America will undoubtedly become a more authoritarian state. In garments from Utopia I am sure?
If all these companies spend time and money on removing the hallucinations over faster response and voice interface, we will make LLMs a much more practical tool and something we can deploy in real-life situations. Until then, it is an excellent toy with limited real-life value.
But for that to happen, they will have to implement illumination, as Susan Sontag quote says below, which is very hard based on current models/algorithms:
