Martha Wells, author of the Murderbot Diaries and current Apple TV+ adaptation star, used a recent interview to attack artificial intelligence at length.
Reducing AI to chat bots in her argument seems ridiculously uninformed and badly researched for an author dealing with the topic. It ignores the capabilities of AI agents to affect actual change once connected to the right APIs as well as the fact that, given eno6gh resources, AI is the first thing created by humans that can theoretically multiply itself own it's own. If an AI can not do a specific task, it could programm an AI that could. Unchecked, there is a certain danger in this. I would assume a fiction author to dive deeper in these waters.
AI debates are so tiresome. You have luddites that think grammarly is going to steal their mom’s elation arguing against “I typed a prompt and I’m an author” types.
It’s all grandstanding and not a whole lot of writing
Human consciousness has yet to be fully observed in an indepth way (cutting open human brain and observing how the brain processes information and instruction) to be able to recreate it in anything nonliving. Until then AI is just a SLOTMACHINE style "intelligence" that produces results based upon large Datasets for it to comb through.
It reproduces not creates.
Wake me up from this nonsensical AI chatter when we all know how the Human Brain processes and stores information or how the Human Mind actually carries out and understands physical instructions. So we can start to ACTUALLY RECREATE IT IN MACHINES.

I started watching Murderbot. It was awful.

It shall pass. They will join us, kicking and screaming, but they will join us.
