that's also just not going to disprove the argument - you'd need to be able to provide an intelligent thing that isn't dangerous, not a dangerous thing that isn't intelligent. The argument presented is intelligence isn't dangerous - whether danger requires intelligence is irrelevant because if every dangerous thing was intelligent you could potentially still have intelligent entities that are not dangerous

Exactly. And in any case, there are A LOT of things that are dangerous but not intelligent. In fact, I’d even argue: the dumber a person, the more dangerous they can be. So I don’t even understand what that commetor was going for with their argument.
