A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Because both you and the article are taking it out of context. The 10% chance refers to general AI (referred to as advance AI in the article), not chatGPT. Also, the actual statistics is 50% of AI safety researchers believe there is a 10% or greater chance humans go extinct from being unable to control AI. It's something meant for the future, not current development.

I recommend The AI Dilemma episode from the podcast Your Undivided Attention for anyone who wants to learn more.
