AI isn't going to kill us (thecritic.co.uk)

AI may not kill us, but people using AI have already killed many.

It is astounding how many participate in, abet and condone killing.

And, as the science fiction writers say: "The civilization would have survived if they hadn't killed each other off"

And kill for profit, even to prove a point.
