I think that AI is inevitable, but I think that unfriendly AI is more likely than friendly AI. This is just from my experience in developing software even in my small team environment where there are less human egos and tribalism/signaling to deal with. Something that you hadn't thought of is always going to happen and a bug will be perpetuated throughout the lifecycle of your software. With AI, who knows what implications these bugs will have.

Rationality itself has to become much more mainstream before tackling AI responsibly.
