Agreed. People think of the best case scenario without seriously considering everything that can go wrong. If we stay on this path the most likely outcome is human extinction. Full stop
Mechanized factories failed to kill humanity two hundreds ago and the Luddite movement against them seems comical today. What makes you think extinction is most likely?
this path will indeed lead to human extinction, but the path is climate change. AI is one of the biggest last hopes for reversing it. from my perspective, if it does kill us all, well, it's most likely still a less painful death.
