    AI boosters and doomers fundamentally believe the same thing.

    They collectively agree that AI will be Great and Awesome, in the old sense of the words. In their minds they are building God and so it can bring about either utopia or dystopia, because it is so Great and Awesome that all hitherto history will cease to matter and the godmachine will recreate the world in its image.
