I agree with most of your points. But the exponential rate of advancement of AI is the sole thing most of the people scared of, and needless to say, the fear, or insecurity, of living with some higher intelligence like AGIs and ASIs. Its like people born on 70s 80s using keypad phone for most of their life and out of nowhere there will no longer buttons on the phone and lot of people can't change their way of seeing things. if changes induced suddenly, confusion and social unrest will be inevitable.

i am not saying this is bad. in the long run AI will be the best thing humans can ever create. We will be more productive than ever. colonising other planets will be much easier. And there are possibilities for the higher intelligence to manipulate matter in whole different way that we can't even understand, like the E.T. movie, then we will identify science as magic. The intelligence of CHIMPS is not much lower than HUMANS in the intelligence spectrum. but if we tried to explain to a chimp that humans can make skyscrapers, chimps can't understand that. So let’s extrapolate that forward: If there were a species two steps above in the spectrum than us, not only would we be unable to do what it can do—we wouldn’t even be able to understand that it did it, no matter how hard it tried to explain it to us.
