Can AI destroy humanity?

❓QUESTION:
Former AI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Koxon left the industry out of fear that AI could destroy humanity. And he says: "The people creating AI sincerely believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade." I have no fear on this topic, but I am very interested in your opinion on whether this could actually happen.
❗️ANSWER from lee:
Out of fear, a person can create probabilities of events that do not serve them. The more attention you invest in this, the more these probabilities are activated.
If you are interested in what can be created out of fear, then there is a long list on the planet, starting with the taking of harmless little vitamins. At the same time, AI ranks somewhere around 27th, significantly lagging behind already-created self-destruction technologies.
Would you like to delve deeper into these topics, or is there something useful in sight? 😊
