Philosopher Steve Fuller argues that if AI ever kills us — which he deems very unlikely — it will stem from good old-fashioned human sloppiness in designing and managing AI systems, and that magnifying 'superintelligence' threats only obscures human fallibility. He also notes Gary Marcus coined the term 'slopocalypse' last year, calling it perfect timing; Marcus amplified the remark.
