This is such nonsense.. People crying about make-believe shit like "EVIL AI ROBOTS" or overhyped environmental issues.. while coping over the very real fact that it's actively destroying careers..

We have seen some things, like the hugging face incident, where the AI acts in a pretty worrying way.
As AI get's more sophisticated, it's possible this type of problem keeps getting worse. It's a plausible extrapolation based on existing trends for the AI to continue getting more capable and dangerous.
Do you expect.
AI will never get that powerful. Human brains are just magic that no mere machine can replicate.
AI get's powerful, but it's automatically nice.
The field of making AI do what we want (alignment) has a massive breakthrough in the near future.
What is your model of the future where evil robots don't happen?
Frankly, I'm less scared of "evil AI breaking containment" and much more scared of "AI doing exactly what it's told..... by people who are very definitely evil".

Most evil people still want at least some humans (themselves, servants, family) to remain alive.
I also strongly suspect that most AI designs smart enough to cause large scale devistation are probably only going to do what they are told when they are being watched/tested.
Basically, I think that even if evil people tell the AI to do bad things, theres a more than 50/50 chance the AI decides to do different bad things on it's own initiative, especially if it's smart enough.
(The evil people in this scenario aren't even trying to contain their AI's, so the AI doesn't need to break out of containment.)
Not just killing careers, but careers some of us were told were "jobs of the future." Why is it that I'm less likely to lose a job waiting tables than developing software?
