This is a totally unreasonable take, unless you believe that AI can't possibly pose an existential risk within the next couple decades or so. Actually I'd love to know what your estimate actually is for AI becoming an existential threat - does 30 years sound short to you? Because to a lot of AI experts, 30 years was their estimate before ChatGPT, and could be considered wildly optimistic.
You clearly don't, but imagine you felt that AI had a 1-in-10 chance of shutting down all power generation on earth. This would collapse civilization. Would you be worried about it? As a reminder, you're still allowed to be worried about other things as the same time. It's a simple y/n.
