Yea, a lot of peoples arguments against AI hinge on the strangest technicalities.

"AI won't kill us, a human with AI will".

This doesn't sound any better to me. Like, they don't stop to think for a moment about it.

Lets say the risk of AI killing us all by itself is 5%.

Ok, so what is the risk of AI killing us when a human with a lot of compute and money tells us to? Helluva lot more then 5%.

Or, what happens to the other thousands of AI kills a lot of us but not all of us. Or AI even just allows humans to make it a prison world.

Even the slightest hint that things may be going out of control is instantly countered with "It's all a hoax, it can't do that, you're making it up". And it's crazy to me as I came from the pre-digital age when computers were rare and things were all networked.
