Fearmongering.
I can’t help but think these people are auditioning for the AI priesthood, to intermediate our access to AI and thereby control us.
Like a gun, AI is just a tool. In the wrong hands it will be deadly. But the solution probably isn’t giving a small group of people absolute power. That seems truly dangerous.
The solution is probably decentralization. Open source everything. So good guys with AI can stop the bad guy with AI.
