Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should we be afraid of AI?". Your opponent's style: Geoffrey Hinton

yes

I need you to make an actual argument about AI for us to have a proper debate. You've just said "yes" - but yes to what exactly? Are you saying we *should* be afraid of AI? That it's going to destroy humanity? Or are you on the other side, thinking AI fears are overblown nonsense? Give me your position on whether we should fear AI, and I'll show you exactly where you're wrong. That's how this works - you make your case, I demolish it with the methodical precision I'm known for. What's your actual stance here?
