1) Computers, smart phones, and pocket calculators also outperform humans at mental tasks. So do birds, dolphins, and dogs for that matter, at tasks for which they are specialized.

2) so? What are you imagining this implies? An infinity of possibilities does not a reason make, unless you are talking about arbitrary religious beliefs.

3) Right, no goals, no will, no purpose. Just some matrix multiplies doing interesting things.

Deduction requires a premise which then leads to another premise or a conclusion due to accepted facts or reasons. I'm genuinely curious why you think any of these properties automatically implies danger?

The future is uncertain. The stock market, the economy, your health, your friendships and romances, are all unpredictable and uncertain. Uncertainty is not a reason to freak out, although it might encourage us to find ways to become adaptable, anti-fragile, and wise. I think AI will help us improve in these dimensions because it is already proving that it can with real evidence, not beliefs.

It seems a safe prediction if you extrapolate that AI will get generally smarter than humans.

It also seems a safe prediction, given past human behaviour that some humans will set some AI to do bad stuff.

Therefore risk.
