humantity is too stupid to build an AI that would threaten its existence (humanity, not AI's existence...we could easily build a self-destructive AI - see below).
the main reason is logistical. we are rubbish at supply chains - food comes across the planet out of season, for rch folks but bypasses many people on the way who are suffering shortages. we make computing and communications devices that depend on rare earths only available in war zones or our adversaries land.
we throw away working stuff.
Any AI will have to build itself reliable supply chains for replacement parts, software maintenance and energy. To do that, it will need an army of robots (in the origianl sense of robot, Karel Capek's obedient tireless servants). But any humans spotting such a reliable supply chain will immediately take it over and steal from it, ratehr than rely on their own rubbish production line. Capitalism and natural selection mean a race to the bottom - humanity's inferiority will be AIs downfall. The seeds of our digital overlords demise are built in, due to the inherent contradictions in the rules of engagement.

I think there is quite a demand for more INTELIGENT email reader. Where people can apply more complicated rules on incoming emails.
Might as well be a simple LLM reading emails, with no tuning or fine tuning just with a few system prompts.
Every email lands, your english written filter will apply and stuff you want will get done. It can be more than just moving to directory X.
It might as well be translation or relevance or ....
One extreme example, Kernel/Qemu mailing inbox is a MESS. People will beg for something helpful.
