These folk are so unimaginative. There's an even worse scenario:

We play expectations whack-a-mole forever and ever.

It's already showing signs of that. The AI discourse is a whack-a-mole machine of hypotheticals. What if it never unlocks meaningful progress, but also don't stop? I mean, ever.

> if it never unlocks meaningful progress

it has already unlocked meaningful progress, that is undeniable. the expectations are a whole other thing though. the best advice I got when I was getting married from my wise uncle was “as long as neither of you come into this with any expectations and just enjoy your life together you have a chance at a lasting happiness…”

You were forced to marry, or was that a choice you made on your own? Be careful with analogies.
