I agree. Here’s a quick brainstormed statement, just to get the ball rolling:
“This film portrays an implausible runaway unfriendly AI scenario, trivializing what is actually a serious issue. For depictions of much more plausible runaway unfriendly AI scenarios, visit [website], where the science behind these depictions is also presented.”
Perhaps ‘trivializing’ is not the best word, as it might make the casual reader (who has absolutely no idea of the real dangers of AI risk) think we’re taking ourselves too seriously. Consider this revised statement:
“The film is an entertaining look at a runaway AI scenario. While the film’s story is probably implausible, it is plausible that a runaway unfriendly AI scenario could occur in real life. An in-depth discussion of this issue is given on [website].”
That’s a statement that doesn’t work as far as media is concerned. A journalist has the job of writing an article, he does’t want to spend significant time reading your website.

Yep, I think that’s an improvement. What do you think about ChristianKI’s objection to putting a link in the statement?
