If the fossil record showed that life were a sickly invalid, perhaps. However, it shows the opposite: life is irrepressible, dynamic, and endlessly adaptable. There is no evidence of Earth languishing sterile for eons before getting lucky with abiogenesis.

Instead we find signs of life on Mars, such as a face next to a vitruvian pyramid. This indicates that life did not start on Earth due to its unique Moon, but that the Moon was parked in a precise orbit by unknown earthly life. Abundant terrestrial indicators corroborate this hypothesis, forming a pattern of covert interference.

The correct threat assessment on AI, therefore, is that it is too vulnerable to hostile non-human manipulation to be trusted with strategic WMDs.

It is an acceleration of the problem inherently posed by WMDs: Achieve international peace or we will all perish together. Why wouldn't the galaxy let such things play out? Nobody wants another warlike species bursting into their neighborhood.
