Humans have genocided each other throughout history. Not too far-fetched to think an AI could lead one.

It's possible that it already is, given there are already signs of the US administration leaning on AI. Perhaps they're leaning a bit too heavily and getting the kind of confirmation / feedback they crave?

If they then feedback to the AI the outcomes of current actions, who knows where that'll lead next?

I've seen some code reviews go like,

"Why did you write this async void"

"Claude said so".

Is that so far from:

"Why did you use nukes?"

"ChatGPT said so".

It's entirely possible that humanity simply follows AI to their doom.

Does that make me an AI doomer?
