You know how when you describe scary things to a child, you try to use simpler words and concepts and try not to spook them so they don't panic and just mentally shut down?

That's how I introduce AI concepts like ANI and AGI before talking about self-improving ASI and AI alignment and convergent intermediate goals like resource acquisition, goal preservation etc.

I want them to learn the facts first before the panic sets in. No one is going to listen to you if you start the conversation by saying they might die from AI.
