AI is less of an extinction than climate change. Especially what passes for AI these days. Climate change is going to displace billions of people. That alone is going to be chaos, but food/water shortages are going to be a problem too.
AI is only a threat if we suddenly reach sci-fi levels where AI concludes that the earth is better off without humanity on it and there's zero indication that we're anywhere near that today.
The good news is that our society will likely collapse or require resources pulled away from power/water hungry AI datacenters well before we see any actual I in AI
