Downvoted because the title seems straightforwardly false while not actually arguing for it (making it a bit clickbaity, but I am more objecting to the fact that it’s just false). Indeed, this site has a very large number of arguments and posts about why AIs could indeed kill people (and people with AIs might also kill people, though probably many fewer).
The title was intended as an ironic allusion to a slogan from the National Rifle Association in the U.S., to dismiss calls for tighter restrictions on gun ownership. I expected this allusion to be easily recognizable, but see now that it was probably a mistake.
Oh, I totally recognized it, but like, the point of that slogan is to make a locally valid argument that guns are indeed incapable of killing people without being used by people. That is not true of AIs, so it seems like it doesn’t apply.

I recognised the allusion but also disliked the title.
Thanks, title changed.
What was the old title? Something like “Misaligned AI doesn’t kill people, misaligned people do”?
This new one sounds like it could make for a good slogan too: “To the average American, gun control is more lethal than guns.”
