In that case, let me advise you to avoid this line in your paper

> We for some reason associate higher intelligence to becoming some master villain that wants to destroy life

Because nobody does. It has nothing to do with the problem that actual A.I. researchers are concerned about.

Believe it or not many people are concerned about that. It's irrational, I know. But it's there.

Nobody serious is concerned about that, and focusing on it distracts from the actual issues.

I have a proposition that I call the "AI Lifeline Iniative"

If someone's job gets replaced with AI we would then provide them a portion of their previous salary as long as the company is alive.

For example:

Let's say Stacy makes $100,000 a year.

She gets replaced with AI. But instead of getting fired she gets a reduced salary down to let's say $35,000 a year. Now she can go home and not worry about returning to work but still get paid.

This would help our society transition into an AI based economy.

I was referring to existential risks. You’re completely misrepresenting the concern.

Oh yeah I was just sharing a possible solution to one side
