- Public reaction to AI often moves through repeating waves of scepticism, excitement, anxiety, and adjustment.
- The useful question is not whether AI is pure hype or pure danger, but how it is actually spreading through work and society.
- A calmer view of AI adoption helps separate real change from emotional overreaction.
