There was an anti-AI protest here at South by Southwest on Sunday. Perhaps you heard about it on NPR or saw it on the BBC or read about it in USA Today.

Groups of students gathered on street corners and hoisted signs expressing fear at the forthcoming rise of the machines, the singularity, Artificial Intelligence, whatever you want to call it. Their T-shirts bore quotes from Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk. “AI say goodbye” and “you say robots we say no bots,” they chanted. Journalists of all stripes were eager to spin the controversy as a sign of anxiety in the heart of tech culture. Techno-fear sells stories.

Except the protest was almost certainly not what it seemed.
