Not attributing anything, just pointing out an alternative explanation to the one that it is given in the comment that it is responding to
However, you seem to be attributing super-human capabilities to a whole group of people for some reason

One does not need to be have super-human capabilities to foresee potential risks of the technology one is an expert in.
Yes, the current version of AI is not capable of large scale harm by itself yet, but the plausible trajectory is worth warning about. Gordon Moore did make fairly accurate predictions after all.

You are right. And no one is arguing the contrary
We can all see the risks
The thing is, what do we do about it
Regulating AI will only serve to help the big players and keep others out

That would depend on the specifics of the regulation though.
I do agree that the likelihood of regulatory capture in this arena is very high.
To do that level of research, one needs strong independent thinking skills and deep technical expertise. We have plenty of evidence on this very site how hard it is to influence technical people and change their opinion.
