"AI" doesn't work reliably enough to be used for most stuff. Safety from that perspective is real.

There are grifters who talk about existential risk, which is pure BS and people who play up identity politics and call it safety.

    -: AI is unsafe because it isn't capable enough
    +: AI is unsafe because it's too capable
It's ok that you don't believe a problem exists, but that doesn't make the people who do believe it exists into swindlers.
That's not logically consistent. Someone selling solutions to a nonexistent problem is a swindler.
Someone selling solutions to a problem the salesman doesn't believe exists is a swindler. But yours are not the only possible beliefs, and having different beliefs than you doesn't make someone a swindler.
