I'm optimistic about AI, and I have a more nuanced take:
* Usage/curiosity and fear are not mutually exclusive. Fear can induce usage. Those who don't use AI will pay a large personal cost for doing so. Opting out isn't a practical option. E.g. See all the recent narratives about how AI will replace software devs unless those devs use AI themselves.
* Usage does not imply ubiquitous approval. People can like parts of AI and still have valid concerns about what it means for the future of society. We can want AI to exist and also want AI to operate within limits.
(This take doesn't contradict what @pmarca said.)

Marc Andreessen on the gap between what people say about AI and what they actually do:
“If you run a survey or a poll of what for example American voters think about AI, it’s just like they’re all in a total panic.”
“If you watch their revealed preferences, they’re all using AI.”
“They're downloading the apps, they're using ChatGPT in their job.”
“They are not only using this technology, they love this technology.”

The duality of the sun's power: The very part of the sun that brings me joy is also the part that hurts me.
