I'm terrified of AI, but not for the reasons you think. I'm not worried about a Skynet AI, and at the same time, I am.
We aren't going to see an AGI in a while, so it's too premature to worry about that. I'm not even sure a true AGI is possible, yet... kind of like how flying cars are possible. We do have flying cars, sort of? Not the way we all envisioned though. So it is for AI.
My worry is that AI will become too trusted. We know the failure rates of humans can be higher than what is deemed acceptable, and AI could fail in unpredictable ways. I'm concerned that now it can be all-too easy to manipulate people en masse.
- Say we entrusted an AI to be our early-warning detection system and trust the output of said AI to mount a counter-response. Turns out it was a false positive, and we started WW3.
- It is used to manipulate people's identity online.
- It can be used to replace people's livelihoods (i.e. book-writing, art, maybe programmers to an extent).

Personally, I think it's still important to study, learn to innovate, and stand on your own two feet, learn survival tactics etc in case we actually do end up in some type of economic collapse or worse from "The AIs".
