The definition of existential is that it’s a threat to existence. It’s already been used to murder innocent people.
That’s the definition of an existential risk.

The definition of “existential risk” in question is specifically cult jargon for “could singlehandedly end human civilization and/or the entire species.” Autonomous weapon systems, though horrifying and unconscionable, are just fine by most “x-risk” types as long as they’re only used against enemies of the state instead of enemies of Skynet.
