Intent to eradicate is not necessary for the fact of eradication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction

I guess those robot tanks are just accidentally murdering everyone then.

I can't be bothered to look up the name of the logical fallacy you just made, there's several different options given the vagueness of that reply and how upthread there is:

> Actually, the natural endpoint is the model ignores all instructions, escapes all manner of sandbox, embeds itself in robotic tanks and murders everyone after already having collapsed the economy.

Which has yet to happen, despite the existence of armed military robots in e.g. Ukraine, the Korean DMZ.

I'm not making a generalized argument about human (or AI in this case) caused extinction, I'm making a specific argument against the claim made by the OP. Is that clear?
