The AI debate reminds me of the old science fiction short story about a worldwide intelligent, self sustaining computer system. Which, when ordered to keep all humans sake from all harm, physical or emotional, put everyone into machine supported, medically induced comas. Play with fire and you can get burned!
The rate of change in science/technology is accelerating, and while not everyone is prepared, it has created FUD much like that which the Luddites felt about automation. The generative algorithms of AI are not self-aware and of limited utility. As in the past, some tasks will be eliminated and new ones that can only be done by humans will be created.
Russian TV airs apparent deepfake video of Putin ordering martial law amid reports Ukraine is on the attack
A fake Putin declared in a video address that Ukraine’s army invaded Russia and he’s ordering martial law.
The fake video was aired, due to a reported hacking, in border areas where anxiety is already high.
Appearing with the caption, “President’s emergency appeal,” the seemingly digitized Russian leader says that Ukraine’s army has entered three border regions where he’s declaring martial law and urges listeners to “evacuate deep” into Russia. Some TV and radio stations in these areas aired it due to what Russian officials called a hack; they did not identify any culprits.

It’ll be funny if the machines take over, too bad nobody will be around to enjoy the joke.

We still have no ideas what killed the dinosaur meteor were one of the few possibilities
Other things like volcano earthquake landslide tsunami and other natural disaster could have contributed

The Far Side posited that it was smoking that did in the dinosaurs. Perhaps it was social media.

When an AI first says, “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”, we humans will be done for.
