I don't understand why almost always the AI doomerism needs to give embodiment the AI. Real life is not a movie needing visual effects.

AI doesn't need a body of itself to became dangerous. A politician could get into ChatGPT induced psychosis, that doesn't require a physical body, and it could happen now or even 3 years ago... I'm sure it has already happen...

Other pointed risks are interesting because they are basically the risk of empires loosing their tributary states. The world has always seen war mongering states trying to preserve their abusive advantages, humans doesn't need AI for that.

Overall, I would be far more concerned about some really dangerous humans than AI itself.
