I think there is an important difference between "AI can be bad" and "AI will be bad by default", and I didn't think anyone was making it before. One might disagree but I didn't think one can argue it wasn't a novel contribution.

Also, if your think they had solutions, ones that work or otherwise, then you haven't been paying attention. Half of their point is that we don't have solutions. And we shouldn't be building AI until we do.

Again, I think that reasonable people can disagree with that crowd. But I can't help noticing a pattern where almost everyone who disagrees is almost always misrepresenting their work and what they say.
