Until it becomes more intelligent than us, then we are fucked, lol
What worries me more about AI right now is who will be in controll of it and how will it be used. I think we have more chances of destroying ourselves by misusing the technology (as we often do) than the technology itself.
One thing which actually scares me with AI ia we get one chance. And there are a bunch who don't think of repercussions, just profit/war/etc.
A group can be as careful as possible but it doesn't mean shit if their Smarter Than Human AI isn't also the first one out because as soon as it can improve itself, nothing is catching up
EDIT: This is also with the assumption of any groups doing so being dumb enough to give it capabilities to build its own body, obviously yes one that can't jump to hardware capable of creating and assembling new parts is much less of a threat, as the thread points out
