I agree. I have plenty of concerns about AI, but those concerns involve real-world harms that can happen in the immediate/short-term, not just some hypothetical sci-fi mass casualty event and having AI criticisms focus on the wrong conversation really just compounds the short-term harm by shifting the conversation away Long before AI causes mass harm without human involvement, humans will find hundreds of ways to make it cause harm, and harm at scale. I do think the technology itself is part of the risk though, because of the flaws, the scale, etc inherent to its current iterations. However, maybe those are still the fault of humans for not giving it the proper limits, warnings, etc. to mitigate those things That said, it can be used for good in the right hands (accessibility tools, etc), potentially, though I'm certainly more of a doomer at this point in time.
