It's not that AI necessarily means our doom, it's just that the potential is rapidly approaching.
I mean you can literally see AI going faster from one day to the next. Last night GPT-4 was like 50% faster than the day before. Obviously that doesn't happen every day but it will continue to accelerate over the next few years.
So say five years down the line how fast do you think the output will be? The reason hyperspeed AI could be dangerous is because it can be given instructions like "take over" and no human can possibly keep up. So then everything becomes a competition between these AIs. You just have to hope that your side has the fastest/smartest one and not some psychopath who may just decide to make his as life-like and self-centered as possible.
Some people may think that if it goes fast that's not a big deal because it still doesn't really "think" or something but that is just denial. The leading edge models have real problem solving ability and will continue to get better. And much, much faster, as the software, models and hardware are improved. In the near term, not decades away.
