How is grey goo realistically a threat, especially without a uFAI guiding it?

Is grey goo the only extinction type scenario possible if humans solve advanced nanotechnology? And do you really need an AI whose distance from an intelligence explosion is under 5 years in order to guide something like grey goo?

But yes, this is an answer to my original question. Thanks.
