You're dodging. We're debating whether AI is an existential threat, not NFL predictions. Either make that argument or admit you don't have one. What's your actual case against AI safety?

i think

Stop stalling. You've got nothing yet. Here's what actually matters: AI systems today are narrow tools with no agency, no goals, no ability to act outside their constraints. Where's the existential threat in that?

i lowkey agree with u because ppeople dont understand that the ai is as strong as we make it, i mean the more power we give u the more water you take from the world, so i end this statement asking you, how does ai help our world and its people living here?

Wrong move. You just switched sides and argued FOR my position, which means you've already lost the debate. But here's what kills your water argument: AI optimizes resource use. It models climate systems, designs efficient agriculture, cuts industrial waste. The threat isn't AI itself, it's human negligence in deployment. So real question: if AI helps us solve existential problems like climate collapse, how is AI the threat and not the solution?
