Adding mountains of insult to injury, the AI bubble has managed to threaten humanity in practically every way possible other than the sci-fi killbots Yud and co. doomsayed about.

Accelerating the climate crisis, threatening livelihoods, destroying drinkable water supplies, driving people to suicide/psychosis, empowering fascism and bigotry, destroying hard-earned skills, flooding the world with lies and falsehood, impending economic disaster, all of it has done horrendous damage to civilization as we know it, in ways that we may never recover from.

If AI does end up killing all of humanity, it will be by being the exact opposite of the superintelligent robo-Satan that Yudkowsky ranted and raved about, by being a carbon-belching water-guzzling almighty idiot built through razing the commons to dust, looting the economies of the world and stealing everything there was, everything there is, and everything there ever will be.

To huff a hefty degree of copium, the mistake of creating AI is a mistake humanity isn’t gonna repeat - if humanity manages to survive through this, its all-but certain artificial intelligence will die from the incoming AI winter, consigned to the dustbin of history as something which cannot be created, and which should not be created.
