I think the very fact that some do is already evidence that this is not a completely unfounded concern, which is what this is driving at.
The amount of respected professional doctors who worry about the impact of witches casting curses on public health is approximately zero. The amount of climate scientists who worry about the impact of CO2 emissions on the future of life and civilization on Earth is approximately 100%. The amount of world class AI-related scientists and researchers who worry about AI apocalypse is not as much but it’s also far from negligible. If there’s a mistake in their thinking, it’s the kind of mistake that even a high level expert can make, and it’s not particularly more likely than the other side being the one who makes a mistake.
