Why I'm not afraid of some future Artificial Intelligence that is super human, malevolent, and doesn't care about humanity, but I am very concerned about the present.

2) true, human-like intelligence (life part)
The supposed fear is that the "human-like intelligence" component might not have humanity's best interest at heart.
