I get the point that's trying to be made here, but it's actually inaccurate. The *MAJORITY* of actual practitioners in the tech industry have a position that is neither of these, it's merely getting drowned out by these two loud positions. The most common belief in the tech industry is simple:

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.

Just paid off some technical debt I’ve known about for years, but could never prioritize. It’s done.

OpenAI is no longer some research lab trying to create artificial general intelligence for the good of humanity, they are now a traditional Silicon Valley company in hypergrowth mode.
