Perhaps, but this is an extremely unconvincing approach to the argument right out of the gate - it's basically on the same level as "communism has never been tried".

Especially if you're going to start out by describing your interlocutors as "crazy", rather than positing that an effectively completely new thing now exists that ought to be evaluated differently from Copilot et. al.
