The scenario that actually worries me isn't the Terminator one, it's the boring one

The real risk of AI is not a "Terminator" scenario, but a gradual disempowerment where humans hand off decisions to automated systems because they are cheaper and slightly better. This process, spanning decades, could lead to a situation where no human understands the system, making it impossible to "turn it off" without causing a recession. This concern highlights a potential future where AI's impact is more about systemic entanglement than overt resistance.
