Hinton: "it might turn out we were better off without AI"

theguardian.com

Interesting quote from someone who spent his career building this stuff. He's not saying stop, more that the net outcome is genuinely uncertain. For those of us running experiments every day, do statements like this change how you think about what you build, or is it just background noise at this point?
