Conversely we the 'human gods' can ruin our planet with pollution. If we wanted to ensure that everything larger than a racoon went extinct we'd have zero problem in doing so.
It should be noted the above world scale problems are created by human intelligence, if you suddenly create another intelligence at the same level or higher (AGI/ASI) expect new problems to crop up.
AI risks ARE human risks and more.

An interesting point. More specifically, I mean that these specific people think of themselves as gods - super-human intelligence and power, and we all are in their hands.
They've convinced many people - look at the comments in this thread repeating the 'gods' delusion that the commenters and all other mortals are powerless before them: 'There's nothing we can do!'
