Christ, a good litmus test is that anyone who says "I'm afraid of AI because...' and then describes the end of modern civilization/the world can be dismissed.

This man's argument is literally "you could ask AI how to turn off all the electricity in Britain and then it would do it." Goddam.

I'm less afraid of the tech itself, and more afraid of how it can be weilded by power-hungry human beings. As long as it never has desires of it's own, we're fine
