An industry commentator argues that AI companies should stop using fear-mongering tactics like "our model is dangerous" or "will take your job" to prove their AI's capabilities, as it does more harm than good. Instead, companies should follow the recent examples of OpenAI and Qwen by demonstrating how AI tangibly improves lives, cures diseases, and frees people from desk work. OpenAI recently showcased an internal version of its next major model producing 10 new results on long-standing open problems in math and theoretical computer science, signaling a hopeful trend toward practical showcases.
