Looks like ChatGPT wrote this article though

> Reality check: ChatGPT is still right behind Claude on the app store charts and has a first-mover advantage on AI. "This is less newsworthy than you think". Real sizzling copy, Axios. And exactly what good is a first-mover advantage when you squander it?

If all of the AI providers just went bankrupt it would be a fairly solid 1 step back, 2 steps forward for humanity. We weren’t ready for it. And degrading world conditions and crazy leadership make it scary to be a civilian in a world with highly capable AI. One that will soon contain AI-powered terrestrial robots akin to something out of Terminator (<2 years). Besides, without AI we’d probably invest in net positive short term objectives that redistribute wealth, like clean tech. (Extremely unpopular opinion because at least half or more of HN are probably working in AI)
