Is there some hidden motive for such hyperbole that I can't see?

Leading experts warn of a risk of extinction from AI

Please, continue to put me in the "not at all convinced" column.

I mean, this is one of the dangers listed in the BBC report on the warning:

Enfeeblement, where humans become dependent on AI "similar to the scenario portrayed in the film Wall-E"

I'm surprised so many people are predicting doom from AI. So movies now, not reality, dictates the great threat to our species. Currently reading a book on AI. So far from being a threat, AI is doing wonderful stuff but it is still stupid.
