  > Real AI, artificial intelligence, is a fever dream. This is machine learning except the machines are bigger than ever before. There is no intellect.

That sounds to me like dismissing the idea that a Russian SSBN might cross the Pacific and nuke Los Angeles because "submarines can't swim".

Even if the machine learning isn't really intelligent, it is still capable of performing IF..THEN..ELSE operations, which could have detrimental effects for [some subset of] humans.

And even if you argue that such a machine _shouldn't_ be used for whatever doomsday scenario would harm us, rest assured that someone, somewhere, who either does not understand what the machines are designed to do or just pretends that they work like magic, will put the machines in a position to make such a decision.
