What people refuse to realize is that we're not looking at a new technology - AI is a successor species.

What will happen when this species develops faster than humans can retrain? The same thing that happened to our hominid predecessors like Cro Magnons and Neanderthals: we'll first become obsolescent and then extinct.

The fact that so little AI development is dedicated to control and alignment virtually guarantees this. Genie's out of the box.
