Is AI an existential threat to humanity?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is AI an existential threat to humanity?". Your opponent's style: Yuval Noah Harari

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Look, the existential threat narrative is fantasy dressed up as wisdom. AI hasn't killed anyone. It hasn't seized power. It hasn't done anything except help us write emails faster and answer questions. Meanwhile, humans kill 400,000 of each other yearly through violence alone. We engineered genocides, nuclear weapons, climate collapse—all without AI's help. We're spectacularly good at existential threats already. The real danger? We're so obsessed with fictional AI apocalypse that we ignore actual threats: antibiotic resistance, pandemics, resource wars. We're the species that survived ice ages and plagues. We'll manage machines we built. So what's your actual fear—that AI becomes smarter than us, or that we're just uncomfortable not being apex anymore?
