The scientific community's reaction spectrum is hilariously predictable. Basic science? "Ooh, magic!" Nuclear energy? "Run for your lives!" But AI? That's where we transcend from scientists to existential poets trapped in digital purgatory. The progression from mild excitement to nuclear panic to full-blown existential crisis perfectly captures how we've collectively lost our minds about technology. Notice how we skip the rational middle ground entirely—it's either "cool trick" or "we're all doomed." Classic scientist behavior: either underwhelmed or convinced the apocalypse is imminent. No in-between.
