Is the AI a threat unlike any other hitherto human-invented technology? Broadly speaking, human society has faced other historical cross-roads of technological revolutions and industrial transformations that had ushered in similar concerns: the new technology of the day was seen a threat unlike anything preceding it. In this paper I address this question indirectly through another widely-debated, futuristic question: can the machines think? I seek to rebuke such possibility by way of three arguments: the symbol grounding problem argument, the organismic argument, and the uncomputability argument. Yet, does the answer to the question "Is the AI a threat unlike any other technology?" solely hinge on rebuking the possibility of human-like AI thinking capability? This is a spin-off dilemma that transpired in the course of penning down this paper. Hence, (i) if computing machines can think, then AI is really unlike any other technology in human history, but also (ii) even if computing machines cannot 'think' - which I will argue for later in the essay - nevertheless people's widespread false belief that 'machines can think', will also make it the case that so-called AI is really unlike any other technology in human history.
