Even with the recent sell-off in AI futures, the AI train’s a com’in. Inevitably many things will transform. Some pundits predict that AI will destroy the human race. Hmmm, could happen, but how?

Already computer programmers, phone service agents, back-office functions and many white collar jobs are being replaced by AI. Sure layoffs hurt, but then humans go do other things, like make crappy music with AI. Will job-shift destroy humanity? I don’t think so.

Will the machines raise up and enslave us in the matrix, or go all terminator on us? Meh, there might be safeguards before the Hollywood horror scenario manifests.

Will Claude hack his way into the nuke codes and set some off just cuz, triggering WW3?

Maybe all work will get automated and we will just die off from laziness, boredom, and nasty drugs.

How do you think AI will destroy humanity???

I think our end will come from the sky, a wandering comet or small asteroid (seen a dinosaur lately?) A nearby supernova would fry us and every electronic device on the planet. Even our own sun could kill us with a Coronal Mass Ejection.
