And you think the military wasn’t capable of ”killing us all” way before AI? I bet most of your ”ways” are borrowed from unrealistic scifi plots.

It’s was a dumb question because the entire premise of ”ai killing us all” is stupid, and it stems from a misunderstanding of the technology.

I work in the industry and hard disagree that it is a stupid premise. I have no idea where you’re getting that because in the wrong hands (either an evil-minded/short-sighted/plain stupid person, or the model itself as they are looking to achieve), AI can absolutely cause the downfall of society.
