I think most people would agree infectious disease could kill millions. But killing billions/everyone feels very different than that. Covid didn’t kill billions, so why would AI?
I think most people think hackers can break into someone’s Facebook account or scam someone, but they don’t think a hacker could plausibly hack us in ways like gaining access to nuclear weapons or shutting down infrastructure at scale. North Korea can’t destroy us with hacking, so why can AI?
I think most people could believe someone could be manipulated, but not easily manipulated like a puppet.
If you end up talking about infectious disease, hacking, or manipulation, the nerfed version people are willing to believe will make it sound like a fair fight when it isn’t. You could probably talk someone into believing the harder version of these things, but I wouldn’t put them in the 1 minute elevator pitch.
The easier version of the argument about “manipulated like a puppet” to swallow is “the ASI just needs to find someone that it can talk into doing what it wants, even if you personally wouldn’t.”
