Questions about strange scenarios that people can regard as unlikely or remote should be more explicitly phrased as hypotheticals, asking to describe the “what if”
Q: Suppose hypothetically that in 100 years it would be possible to build a dangerous AI. How important would it be to figure out how to make it non-dangerous?
Expert: How important is your life to you?
Formulated like that it would be a suggestive question posed to yield the desired answer. The problem in question is the hypothesis and not the implications of its possible correctness.
Your original question already asked about this particular possibility. If you want to gauge how likely this possibility is seen, ask directly, without mixing that with the question of value. And previous responses show that the answer is not determined by my variant of the question: three popular responses are “It’s going to be fine by default” (wrong), “It’s not possible to guarantee absence of danger, so why bother?” (because of the danger) and “If people worried about absence of danger so much, they won’t have useful things X,Y,Z.” (these things weren’t existential risks).
