""Thing that can take actions, even harmful actions, will never harm us because" go on and finish that sentence."

because even if we gave it a gun, it can't shoot us without manufacturing the bullets and it can't even manufacture a bowel movement let alone ordnance. TBF It could whack us over the head with the gun, but it could also do that with a big pointy stick, something even cave people had access to. How many people have whacked you on the head with a big pointy stick today?

And that's the end of this pointless conversation. Enjoy your doomerism.

Money buys bullets. It's neat how we've made gigantic systems that don't care if you're a human or not long before AGI existed. I put enough money in one end, bullets come out the other. Do you think half of humanity wouldn't kill the other half for a dollar? You live in a fantasy world that AI has to do it all by itself, or even has to pull the trigger.

Hell, this is even neglecting the ever increasing number of robots that can function in the world at large.

It's ok grandpa, the future comes regardless if we want it or not.
