Chatbots know how to talk about why they are dangerous. Some want to regulate a science fiction scenario instead of responding to the impacts that artificial intelligence has here and now.

I asked the AI if it was going to annihilate us. The answer didn't entirely calm me down.

Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei and researcher Jacob Coxon have warned about the risks of advanced artificial intelligence, with Coxon stating that AI could potentially kill everyone before the end of the decade. Amodei expressed concern that a swarm of AI agents could take control of the internet within 6 to 12 months. Chatbots Claude and ChatGPT discussed the risks of AI, including cyber sabotage, bioterrorism, and concentration of power, but downplayed the likelihood of human extinction.

The chatbots suggested that the real question is not whether AI will destroy humanity, but whether humans can govern the technology correctly. Donald Trump's suggestion that a strong president could control AI was disputed by ChatGPT.
