Wouldn't it be better to have an imperfect tool to help us go through life than a "perfect" tool that ends it?

A Reddit user engaged in a deep conversation with an AI bot to understand its perspective on the risks of pursuing a "perfect" AI tool that could potentially end humanity. The user initially struggled to comprehend why anyone would pursue such a tool, considering the risks. They reflected on corporate greed and the "god complex" as potential motivations, concluding that nothing is worth it if it leads to a world without users or enjoyment, and that developers should consider these implications.
