It is important to distinguish between rational arguments and moral arguments. If one says 'A super intelligent will kill us all'. They are making a moral statement, not a rational one. It is the same type of statements as in 'if you don't put plastic walls in the grocery stores, the elderly will die'. Or 'if you drive a gasoline car, you are destroying the planet'. All of these statements have a rational basis. But the rational basis is secondary in practice.

If you need to eat, then you’ve got to eat. A cheetah is not going to run at that speed unless it has to because the zebra is capable of escaping.
