**Submission Statement:** This article argues that the fear of AI wiping out humanity are driven by a cultural fascination with apocalypse, similar to how nuclear war dominated Cold War culture. While it doesn’t completely disregard the thread of AI, but rather advises a degree of caution against catastrophizing every advance in AI as a step towards humanity’s self-inflicted doom.
