It sounds like a cheap cash grab to capitalize on the hype.
I like the title, it sounds humorous.

Although I concede that fear is sometimes used to get people to buy things, in the particular case of AI (of all things) wouldn't trying to get some of the $100s of billions being invested in AI be a more effective cash grab?

Of course not, bigger risk. And I'm not talking about fear. I said hype.

I can't see why you'd call it hype.
Hype is messaging designed to attract people. What is attractive about the message, "The AI labs need to be shut down or they are going to get us all killed"?
That is throwing a big old wet blanket on the hype, it seems to me.

I don't understand what you are trying to say.
It's a book. To capitalize on the AI hype.

If the purpose of writing the book is "a cheap cash grab" (your phrase), why doesn't the book say how wonderful AI will be? Wouldn't that sell many more copies?
