Each one of which is a tired, well-worn cliche with well explored rebuttals
or reasons why it is irrelevant.

"AI Cna Create Propaganda", for instance.  Creating propaganda was already
possible in mass volumes using teams of humans, and was likely to get quite
a bit worse in the near future even without AI.

Or "AI Is Developing At An Alarming Rate".  Thing is, to whom is it
alarming?  The only rate that wouldn't "alarm" certain folks is "not at
all".  That there exists any progress whatsoever is enough to alarm said
folks.
