Does the strongest argument that AI existential risk is a big problem really open by exhorting the reader to imagine it's a big problem? Then asking them to come up with their own arguments for why the problem needs addressing?
- gjm11 3y agoI doubt it. At any rate, I wasn't claiming to offer "the strongest argument that AI existential risk is a big problem". I wasn't claiming to offer any argument that AI existential risk is a big problem. I was pointing out an interesting feature of the argument in the comment I was replying to: that (so far as I can see) its reason for dismissing AI x-risk concerns would apply unchanged even in situations where AI x-risk is in fact something worth worrying about. (Whether or not it is worth worrying about here in the real world.)
