Humans are dumb too, but still manage to explode regularly - although not usually with intelligence.

I'm completely failing to understand why a hypothetical god-AI is being taken seriously as a threat to survival, but the many potential and actual horrors of the human world are being ignored here.

We're perfectly capable of destroying ourselves without needing to invent an AI to do it for us. Why is this not taken seriously as a problem?

You should actually read the article. It directly discusses the questions you raise.
