It is that they are chatbots. If it were real AI, an actual singularity, I would worry, maybe. But it isn’t. They are absurdly powerful automation tools that can handle logic better than a human can dream of. They take care of the grunt minutiae without complaint. But they are not going to end the world in their current form.

So we're going to wait till after they can adopt a form they can end the world in?

And he'll, we need to examine all the risks. AI ending is a large but lower risk problem. AI giving people the power to end us is a problem that is starting to happen now.

And that's not even counting 'minor' problems like society falling apart.
