Flycer’s explanation for better understanding:

The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

Typicality implies our likely demise in the next million years. But it tells us nothing about whether this will come at the hands (or other appendages) of an artificial intelligence; after all, there is no shortage of doomsday scenarios.

Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:

Typicality suggests that we are likely to face extinction within the next million years, but it does not indicate whether this will be caused by artificial intelligence. There are numerous doomsday scenarios that could lead to our demise.
