Again, a given that AI is adversarial.
Edit: In addition, as an 1100 elo chess player, I can very easily tell you how a 1600 player is going to beat me. The analogy doesn't hold. I'm in good faith asking how AI could destroy humanity. It seems given the confidence people who are scared of AI have in this, that they have some concrete examples in mind.
No it’s a given that some people who attempt to wield AI will be adversarial.
In any case a similar argument can be made with merely instrumental goals causing harm: “I am an ant and I do not see how or why a human would cause me harm, therefore I am not in danger.”
People wielding AI and destroying humanity is very different from AI itself, being a weird alien intelligence, destroying humanity.
Honestly if you have no examples you can't really blame people for not being scared. I have no reason to think this ant-human relationship is analogous.
And seriously, I've made no claims that AI is benign so please stop characterizing my claims thusly. The question is simple, give me a single hypothetical example of how an AI will destroy humanity?
Sure, here’s a trivial example: It radicalizes or otherwise deceives an employee at a virus research lab into producing and releasing a horrific virus.
The guy at Google already demonstrated that AIs are able to convince people of fairly radical beliefs (and we have proof that even humans a thousand years ago were capable of creating belief systems that cause people to blow themselves up and kill thousands of innocent people).
P.S. I was not characterizing your opinion, I was speaking in the voice of an ant.
