One thing we underestimate is the religion of techbros. They don't even realize they're religious.
But a lot of people grew up eating stories about "general" AI and space colonies and these science fiction tropes became ingrained pretty deeply into their psyche.
They simply think this stuff is foretold. They believe in it with a religious fervor.
If you're stumped as to why AI is being adopted rapidly at all levels despite being nonsense, it's because they're zealots.
