Agree. Ais gone rogue now could be bad, but not humanity-ending bad. Just a hiccup. Of course if it somehow ends with human deaths then even if one human dies because of a rogue AI, that's a failure. But I can't imagine rogue AIs with enough real world power to harm humans in some way. What I do believe however is that humans will find a way to do harm with AI without AI going rogue, as with any other thing humanity comes close to. So the scenario is somehow similar to the nuclear bomb in the 40s, I don't fear our AIs going rogue and killing everyone, I fear a bad guy behind a very smart AI with very bad intentions.

Fair Point and to be honest what we should be worried about the AI being in wrong hands. And yeah of course I agree with proper rules and regulations how the AI company approaches about training and maintaining those models would make a huge impact in this and those rules should be tough like no gaps and blurring lines.

That's the correct fear to have, though. And we all understand "human bad guys with tech" are not extinction-level threats. We understand how their killswitch works, too.

AI will definitely be used to kill people (already used in targeting). But the doom / panic is about an existential threat to our species. It's sci-fi and unwarranted for LLMs.
