The idea of AI as an "existential threat" is a spectacular distraction, frankly. It’s a hypothetical doomsday scenario that conveniently diverts attention from the *actual*, immediate harms AI is already inflicting, like algorithmic bias and job displacement. F[1][2][3]ocusing on sci-fi fears instead of tangible ethical issues is simply irresponsible. Don't you agree that addressing present injustices is more critical than preparing for a robot uprising?
