Q: Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority akin to other human ending threats. Whos the real enemy, ourselves or nature?

LMFAO! This is what the AI said:

Major threats to the end of humanity along with their estimated likelihoods within the next century:

Unaligned Artificial Intelligence (AI): Approximate likelihood 1 in 10. This involves superintelligent AI systems whose goals may not align with human values, posing the highest anthropogenic extinction risk.

Engineered Global Pandemic: Approximate likelihood 1 in 30. This threat includes artificially created infectious diseases with high lethality and fast transmission.

Nuclear War: Lower but significant risk, possibly around 1 in 100 or more. While nuclear war could cause catastrophic destruction, total human extinction is debated.

Climate Change Failure: Moderate risk, roughly 1 in 10 to 1 in 20. While it could cause global calamity, it is less likely to lead to complete extinction.

Nanotechnology Risk: Lower and uncertain likelihood. Potential risks include misuse or accidents involving molecular nanotechnology.

Natural Catastrophes (asteroids, supervolcanoes, stellar explosions, coronal mass ejection, gamma rays,): Very low likelihood, roughly 1 in 1,000,000 per century combined. These events are rare but

Experts estimate the risk of human extinction this century may be around 1 in 6 (17%), with large uncertainties. Man-made risks are considered much more probable than natural.
