Chinese hype is actively hindering the AI safety cause. It's very hard to convince the general public that AI is a threat and should be handled with great care, when they see news of debunking yet another huge claim about a leap in AI. These crashes in excitement only prime people's tolerance and can blind them to actual threats. It will be the story of a boy who cried "paradigm shift".
Appreciate the well balanced thoughts!
