Honestly, the most likely humanity destroying event is out of control global warming which we're achieving perfectly fine without any need for AI. In fact, it can be argued that corporations represent everything we fear AI will be. These are non human entities with goals that are not aligned with those of humanity. There's a great article by Ted Chiang on the subject https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tedchiang/the-real-danger-to-civilization-isnt-ai-its-runaway

Groks servers are powered by dozens of "temporary" power generators that are burning fuel 24/7 with no environmental protection or exhaust mitigation. Just pumping out fumes and heat into the atmosphere.

AI is global climate change and water waste in a neatly wrapped gift no one asked for.

Let's not pretend like that wasn't already happening long before AI. The entire western society is built on unsustainable consumption.
