What, is the AI going to dump a trillion tons of carbon dioxide into the air to cause a catastrophic runaway greenhouse effect, making huge swathes of the earths prime agricultural regions uninhabitable and forcing hundreds of millions of people to flee to other countries, emboldening fascist movements that seize on the fear of migrants and the strain on local resources, while increasing heat means more frequent super storms that destroy infrastructure while much of the global coasts are submerged, crippling international trade?

You don’t know what the terms you’re using even mean. We have AI. We don’t have AGI or ASI. And you don’t even know what those terms mean so it’s pointless debating you.

It’s not unrealistic for a dipshit fascist to put an ai in charge of a nuclear arsenal and for it to destroy the world because of a passing red balloon. That said, the ai is quite a few steps down the line of things that need to be delt with in that chain.
