• In March 2023, 35,000 researchers and entrepreneurs signed an open letter halting AI development due to risks to humanity. • The letter caused a stir, but few were concerned about the threat of AI to humanity. • Signatories are concerned about competition between Google, OpenAI, Microsoft and other companies, as well as the possibility of AI displacing workers. • Some AI researchers have warned about the social problems associated with language patterns, but their concerns have been forgotten. • The letter and statement drew attention to technology firms creating cutting-edge AI. • In the end, the letter backfired and made it harder to draw attention to less dangerous AI issues.
