Artificial intelligence, the hype of technology and beyond, has gone next level. And many of that happened after the rise of generative AIs.
Thanks to OpenAI when it introduced ChatGPT, generative AI has reached new height, as more people use the technology, and as more rivals are trying to compete for the same pool of growing audience.
During Bloomberg Technology Summit in San Francisco, where the central these of the discussion was AI, leaders kept repeating the notion that AI, and the people who are building it, are important.
Sam Altman, the founder and CEO of OpenAI, has been at the center of this AI craze world, where the public hyperbole the superhuman levels of its generative AI.
The executive also said that the impact of generative AIs shall be measured on "an exponential curve."
His thought about this adheres to a longstanding tradition where giant leap for mankind, when it involves technology, happens during every new but useful invention.
There are lots of news inventions introduced, but only a small number of them are really beneficial.
And AI is just one those elites, besides the internet and some others.
The thing is, the benefits about AI goes only as far as how much people believe in them.
If everyone believes AI will revolutionize the world, companies behind the AI will benefit, and AI will thrive.
And when Bloomberg Originals host Emily Chang then asked Altman a question whether he should be believed, despite having "an incredible amount of power at this moment." Altman responded:
"I think at this moment in time, people should basically spend as much time asking as many questions as they would like. [...] No one person should be trusted here."

What Altman is saying here, he simultaneously hailed AI as the key to ending world poverty, but also the potential end of the human race.
Without meaningful federal regulation, and without clear rules that govern the use of AI, the technology will know no boundary, and its development will be left ungoverned.
For this particular reason, Altman sees AI as both a benefit and an existential threat.
Humans love drama, excitement and controversy. The more the better.
And AI is all of those.
It has been for a long time, that the pop culture believes that one of the few causes of possible doomsday, is rogue AI. This has been made in numerous science-fiction stories, and topics about Artificial General Intelligence have become common, and generative AI is taking away more of people's job, an increasing number of people began to see the similarity between the real life AI, and the science-fiction-made AI they fear.
