Just because something happens in the movies doesn't mean it can't happen in real life

"I don't believe in video calls.

That's just sci fi."

- Nobody.

Because that's just dumb.

Yet people say that with AI smarter than humans all the time.

Remember: just because it's in a sci fi doesn't mean it can't happen.

That's just as irrational as thinking it will definitely happen cause it's in a sci fi.

In fact, its presence in sci fi should have virtually no bearing on your epistemics.

Look at the actual reasoning. Look at technological trends. Reason and evaluate claims.

Don't just pattern match, "It's in a movie, therefore is unserious and can never happen."
