Is the title to be taken seriously or is “AI Overlords” become some type of well-meaning indication of the positivity of having overlords?

I thought AI can do anything, why do I have to help it if it’s so smart and powerful and intelligent and useful? Is it really just a complex computer program that is actually trained to do very narrowly defined activities?



Current AI has its limits and now we must tailor our data in the hope it fixes some problems.

Would be a shame to invest all those billions of dollars and resources to get unreliable mediocre results.

The abstract blurb (linked) doesn't mention AI overlords in either context, so I think it's mostly just an edgy title.


Maybe it really mean AI company overlords because they are seen as the next rulers of the economy.
