It's funny. I see the phrase "AI doomsday scenario" and I immediately picture devastating cascading consequences caused by someone mistakenly putting too much trust in some kind of agentic AI that does things poorly and breaks a lot of big important things.
I'm just not seeing a scenario where AI causes devastating disruption based on its own ultra competence. I'm much more scared of AI incompetence.
