    A really, really good question!

      Well, it's not like humans are nigh-invincible demigods. We are quite fragile and could have killed ourselves as a species since way before AI. If AI wants to kill us, it shouldn't be that difficult. So I don't see why people are fixating on this question.

        Precisely. We might kill ourselves with AI. Unlikely AI will do the job for us.
