“Right now the AI debate is dominated by two extremes. Doomers believe AI will become godlike and destroy us. Zealots believe AI will become godlike and save us. Their conclusions are different, but their logic is the same: AI will surpass human intelligence and slip beyond human control. Both positions are rooted in science fiction, not science. And both ignore how innovation actually works. There’s a third way: AI realism.” (09/12/25)
