> that seems like sci-fi nonsense

Your burden of proof is backwards.

It is on the AI-doomers to explain why sci-fi concepts like “AI improving itself into a super intelligence” or “AGI smart enough to kill everyone to make paper clips while simultaneously stupid enough to not realize that no one will need paper clips if they are all dead” have any relevance in the real world.

The entire AI-doomer worldview is built off of unproven assumptions about the nature of intelligence and what computers are capable of, largely because thought leaders in the movement are incapable of separating sci-fi from reality.
