“Super intelligence is not personal, right? Like, if you invent something that is superhuman in every domain and you put it in your pocket, we should not assume that by default, it will listen to you, it will be aligned with the things that you want. We might want to assume that it has ideas of its own. And so when Mark Zuckerberg says, I want to get personal superintelligence to everyone, what I hear is I want to give a dragon to everyone. And I would rather that we'd not do that.”

Critics compare Mark Zuckerberg's vision to giving everyone a 'dragon,' indicating potential dangers.
