Human capabilities are greatly limited by other humans, and by weaknesses imposed by biology. The first AGI will have no peer competitors, and no biological weaknesses. A single intelligent human, with unrestricted access to all the worlds resources, with no tiredness or other weaknesses of the body, with perfect motivation and focus, and with the ability to perfectly clone themself, would undoubtedly be able to drive great white sharks to extinction. And that's just with human-level intelligence. Nuclear bombs are highly unlikely to drive humans to extinction because nuclear bombs could never make improved nuclear bombs.
