Someone could give an AI, directly or indirectly, control over the nuclear arsenal.

But for everyone to die “in the same second”… like exactly the same second… that’s hard to imagine.

If they so much as make nuclear nukes a one button press to trigger thing we would be doomed well before AIs were to arrive for us.

Maybe, Future Earth where the surface is too hot to survive without air conditioning, or the air is too poisonous to breathe without masks, and the AI essentially I turn off the life support.

But yeah this is scare mongering. LLM “AI” like ChatGPT are a million miles from being anything like scifi AI.
