  What makes you so certain? Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_value_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_value_theorem

    I never said am certain, I'd assign both cases about the same probability. Since I've already stated why I think the malevolent simple AI scenario such as a paperclip maximizer is plausible, you haven't stated why you find it implausible. That is why I asked. Also, what does the Intermediate value theorem have to do with it?

      You asked why I was certain. So I asked why you were certain. The onus is on the people putting out apocalyptic theories to justify the apocalyptic scenario (extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - a central tenet of the scientific method). We are going to have a normal-intelligent AI before a superintelligent AI.
