Typically, people who push such arguments are fearmongers in quite a few areas.
They rarely isolate themselves to just one, and they have a history of misleading people, and making exaggerations, and fantasizing up catastrophic scenarios out of thin air, and of trying to stir the pot, so to speak.
Once you put aside the "novelty technology" bait which is designed to shutdown critical thinking, it becomes evidently clear that it's just them up to their old tricks.
Why do we let them get away with this?
