Yeah, if you or I would use such an argument, people in this forum would jump on us invoking "Godwin's law". But because it is Chomsky saying it, we congratulate him for being deep and seeing the forest.

In which case you can happily point out that, in doing so, they've really misunderstood Godwin's Law.
I thought it was a helpful connection to make. It's not new, plenty of critics the past decade have written comparing new AI to totalitarianism. Chomsky et al was the first this year to do so in the context of ChatGPT amidst all the articles that failed to do that while trying to put their finger on what what was wrong about it. I think his article deserves credit for that.
