That's partially the point. We may not know it until it's too late.

But it doesn't matter. If you gave everyone a button and the warning that pushing it would end the human race, we'd all be dead pretty much immediately.

I think it's a given that on a long enough timescale, someone will create AGI and we'll no longer be the dominate race on earth. How that ends, in death, or slavery, I don't know.

I do hope that every AI researcher does their work with a small bit of fear of becoming the pet of an AGI.
