AI singularity? Meh. It's AI-augmented humans that worry me.

On my List of Things to Worry About, a superintelligent AI taking over the world just doesn’t rank. We humans don’t understand our own sentience and intelligence. We’re a long way from creating a truly sentient, understanding, superintelligent machine. The current and near-term models labeled artificial “intelligence” introduce a threat similar to a nuclear bomb. Just like the bomb, these AI have no real intelligence, no real understanding. An intelligent bomb could understand what was going on and refuse to explode.
