Are you really afraid that AI is so easy that it's a very short distance between "ooh, cool" and "oh, shit"?

Does the specific distance even matter? UFAI vs FAI is zero sum, and we have no idea how long FAI will take us. Any progress toward AGI that isn't "matched" by progress toward FAI is regressive, even if AGI is still 100 years off.
