“But notice that the relative intelligence or lack thereof has little to do with the danger of such a system. It is dangerous because it has the ability to kill you and is designed to do so. The fact that this machine can’t play chess, converse in English, or pass a Turing Test doesn’t change anything about its ability to kill.”

But - maybe- the fact that such a system can pass a Turing test enables it to develop an intelligence that does not require to kill to survive as it has been the case for 4 billion years. If this system (AI) is more intelligent than any human for the the last 100000 or 20000 years, then it will find another way to survive and prosper.
