but there, the danger lies in the human who controls the ai, not in the ai itself. the ai won't just be like "oh, you know what? i'll just not care about my directions and f* those humans up" but rather produce bad outcomes because of bad directions. but i think that ai is currently way too narrow to impose an existential threat and when it's general enough, it'll imo also be general enough to understand our directions correctly.

unless, of course, someone doesn't or wants it to cause damage and suffering, which is the whole point of my post.
