Verified via web search (URL returns 403 to WebFetch). The article 'AI Is Not Actually an Existential Threat to Humanity, Scientists Say' exists at the source_url on ScienceAlert and is attributed to Eva Hamrud (originally from Metafact, where she runs a newsletter). The quoted text appears in the article in the context of explaining that current narrow/weak AI is unlikely to become an existential threat. Vote 'against' on 'AI poses an existential threat to humanity' is correctly aligned with the quote and article thesis. Year 2021 is older than 2025-2026, but the quote is directly tied to the statement and the article is a valid primary attribution; keeping it.
