It’ll likely turn out that the more dispassionate people in the middle, who are neither strongly for nor against it, will be the ones who had the most accurate view on it.

I believe that some of the people in the middle will have more accurate views on the subject, indeed. However, note that there are multiple ways to be in the "middle ground", and some are sillier than the extremes.

For example, consider the following views:

  1. That LLMs are genuinely intelligent, but useless.
  2. That LLMs are dumb, but useful.

Both positions are middle grounds - and yet they can't be accurate at the same time.
