Yes, I am saying that the scenario you allude to is vanishingly unlikely.
But there’s another point, which cuts close to the core of my values, and I suspect it cuts close to the core of your values, too. Rather than explain it myself, I’m going to suggest reading Scott Alexander’s Who By Very Slow Decay, which is about aging.
That’s the status quo. That’s one of the main the reasons I, personally, care about AI: because if it’s done right, then the thing Scott describes won’t be a part of the world anymore.

Good piece, thank you for sharing it.
I agree with you and Scott Alexander—painful death from aging is awful.
