The fact that we are breathing is proof that we will not die from this. The fact that we simply exist. Because to insist we all die from this means that we’ll be the first in the whole universe to unleash killer AI on the rest of the universe.
Because you can’t conveniently kneecap the potential of AI once it kills us all but then somehow slows down to not discovering interstellar travel, retrofitting factories to make a trillion spaceships to go to every corner of the universe to kill all life.
To accept the AI Armageddon argument, you basically have to also own the belief that we are alone in the universe or are the most advanced civilization in the universe and there are no aliens, Roswell never happened, etc.
We’re literally the first to cook up killer AI. Unless there’s 1 million other killer AI on the other side of the universe from 1 million other galaxies and it just hasn’t spread here yet in the millions of years it’s had time to.
Are we really going to be that arrogant to say that there’s no way any civilization in this galaxy or nearby galaxies is more advanced than us? Even just 100 years more advanced? Because that’s probably how quickly it could take post-singularity for killer AI to conceive advanced forms of interstellar travel that we could never dream of and dispatch killer AI to our solar system.
And I don’t even want to hazard a guess at what a super AGI will cook up to replace the earliest forms of interstellar travel, 1000 years after they first started heading out beyond the solar system.
Even if we’ve got a 10% chance of AI killing us all. That’s the same math where 1 out of every 10 alien civilizations are knowing or unknowingly unleashing killer AI on the rest of the universe. And yet we’re still standing.
It’s not happening. Either because of divine intervention, some otherworldly entities that intervene with the tech of civilizations before it gets to the point of endangering the rest of the universe or we are just discounting the potential for AI to align itself.
I might be able to accept the premise of AI Armageddon if I didn’t also have to accept the bad math of us being alone in the universe or being the most advanced civilization out there.
