If we knew how specifically this would be built, then it would already be built. That's really the only way we could know if something would work - if it has, in fact, worked. As is, there are only ideas and possibilities. The trajectory that AI is on signals risk. AI capabilities are increasing, approaching human level, and nothing suggests AI capabilities will stop there. If you agree that a super intelligence - i.e. something smarter than humanity, could destroy or dominate humanity (either by itself or in collusion with a small number of humans) and you agree that we don't currently have a plan to prevent this from happening, then it seems to me that you also agree with AI x-risk.
