Pointless whataboutism.

You know what else is irrelevant to this discussion? We could all die in a nuclear war so we probably shouldn’t worry about this issue as it’s basically nothing in comparison to nuclear hellfire.

Mostly whataboutism, but I think my point about cars is valid. I think nuclear is another good comparison. Nuclear could power the world, or destroy it, and I’d say we’re on the positive path despite ourselves.

It’s not that we shouldn’t worry, we should. But humanity is also surprisingly good at cooperating even if it’s not apparent that we are.

I certainly believe that looking only at the good or bad side of the argument is dangerous. AI is coming, we should be serious about guiding it.
