Sure, a lot of my colleagues at work, I'm a high school teacher, are scared, intimidated or skeptical of AI.
I did a presentation on it and think I did a good job at balancing basic concepts with demonstrations and also a bit of higher end theory.
The conversation evolved into dystopian scenarios very quickly and everyone got scared about humanity being over taken by machines etc.
For me, I've been a technology teacher for a decade, and the concepts of a Singularity, or machine learning and intelligence over taking humans just seems, well, inevitable.
I don't ascribe a good or bad to it, nor any of the morality. I'm an optimist and go into the conversation hopeful that humanity downloaded into machines could be a positive thing perhaps if humans evolve into non organic or semi organic beings.
This triggers much existential dread for people though. It's as if the invention of AI and the esoteric thoughts it beings up is too much.
On one hand I think older generations and ideas just need time to die out and be replaced... but also maybe there is a way to get people to accept and like AI despite the existential dread and automatic dystopian thoughts.
