Where's your proof that Switch 2 is based around AI tools?
And even if I accepted AI advancements doesn't mean I want it to nuke us.

It's only natural for the Switch successor have A.I upscaling, whether it uses DLSS, XESS, FSR or a bespoke solution, A.I. is in the next Switch as developers are leveraging it across the entire industry. FSR with A.I upscaling should be back-ported to the Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Switch hardware.
Contrary to popular belief you don't need a ton of "tensor" or FP8 capability to drive A.I. algorithms either, you can do it on conventional FP16/FP32/FP64/INT8/INT16 shader hardware.
Where is your evidence that A.I. will be capable of nuking us?
You cannot DEMAND evidence from someone else and then make a baseless assertion not based on fact and without evidence, it's blatantly hypocritical.

I simply used that as an example, which pandemics have shut down the entire world and forced people everywhere to have to lock down in their homes, closed schools, shut down all pro sports leagues, shut down all travel, cancelled the Olympics, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
My point is most people wouldn't have believed that possible. If I said this was going to happen 5 1/2 years ago on this board would one single person believe it? No fucking chance, lol.

To be fair... Most people are stupid, it's the individual that can stand out and be smart.
Remember 1 in 4 Americans believe that the sun revolves around the Earth with the Earth at the center of the Solar system.
Conversely 1 in 4 Americans believe they won their independence from a nation other than Britain.
All through human history pandemics/epidemics/plagues have shut down the entire planet, sometimes countries even suffered mortality rates of 50%.
It's happened before. It will happen again, because biology is a complex topic... And when you have brain dead presidents that are telling people to take hydroxychloroquine to cure a disease... Well that doesn't help either.
People beliefs is thus irrelevant when scientifically and statistically it's more than possible.

I remember even sitting on New Years Eve 2019, just a few weeks before shit would hit the fan, and we are kicking back having beers at a party and the news report of the quarantined Japanese cruise ship with COVID on it came on and everyone was having a laugh about it and how much a bizarre situation it was, but the feeling was very strongly "that shit will just stay over there and never come here".

Anecdotes are a great thing. But also a logical fallacy and thus irrelevant.

If an AI gains enough intelligence and it really figures it doesn't need 9 billion humans around, it won't be as cinematic as Skynet/Terminator, it'll probably just do something simple, like quietly in the background work on releasing something into the air or water supply or a virus that can rapidly spread itself.

There is no evidence or past precedent that would point to such a thing happening.
Contrary to popular belief, most systems that are "integral" to providing a specific service tend not to be networked to the world wide web for stupidly obvious reasons.
And what chemical? And how would it disperse it? Where would it disperse it? How will it cover the entire planet? Do you know how many tonnes of chlorine you would require to displace Oxygen enough to wipe out all human life? Let's just say. We don't have enough of it.
There is zero evidence to substantiate your proposition, the only thing you have is a very active fear-mongering imagination.

No one really got COVID right, so perhaps humanity as a species isn't as smart as they think they are. If they did it should have been stopped before it spread everywhere. We are arrogant, careless, and mistake prone, even the best of us. That's not anecdotal either.
There is no past precedent because where exactly would you get a past precedent? We've had computers for what? Really 70 years only? That's nothing. There's nothing to prepare us for what is coming, Siri on an iPhone doesn't prepare you for shit, nothing in our past is going to tell you anything about this kind of a future.
An intelligence that's allowed to keep growing and advancing in years or even decades what took monkeys/apes/humans hundreds of thousands of years of evolution to achieve, there's no way to predict what it might do, how much it could learn, or what it could be capable of.
