Well and being a snob about it doesn't help. If all the average joe knows about AI is what google or openAI pushed to corporate media, that shouldn't be where the conversation ends.

The average joe can have their thoughts on it all they want, but their opinions on the matter aren't really valid or of any importance. AI is best left to the people who have a deep knowledge of the subject, just as nuclear fusion is best left to scientists studying the field. I'm not going to tell average Joe the mechanic that I think the engine he just revised might just blow up, because I have no fucking clue about it. Sure I have some very basic knowledge of it, that's pretty much where it end too though.
