"There's nobody credible in AI who believes we have the slightest clue how to build a general AI, let alone one that is 'superintelligent'."
"We" don't have to make one. All we have to do is set an AI towards self improvement/production of better AIs. THAT is where superintelligence comes from. All we have to do is make one that is an idiot savant geared toward AI design.
Sort of like worrying about the emergence of a pandemic deadly virus when researchers around the world are working on making fast-spreading non-deadly viruses. All it takes is the right mutation and non-deadly becomes 99.99% deadly.
