To me, personally, this is an incredible scientific achievement; a scary one, sure, but an incredible one. Perhaps the thing that scares me the most is the question of who gets to have this technology. Shortly before dying, Stephen Hawking talked about technology becoming a catalyst for inequality. I truly hope this inequality does not eventually degenerate into some new form of slavery, not by the hands of machines, but the masters of machines (and very smart ones).
