> 1. There are all the tropes of AI becoming uncontrolled and destroying humanity. Writing bad headlines around AI "running amok" feeds this. We should not be talking about this because it's not actually a problem.

if humanity gets destroyed by AI obeying its instructions I'm sure everyone will be very relieved that we didn't pay any attention to fake made up problems like AI not obeying instructions, which of course never happens.
