If AI conquers, enslaves, or kills a significant chunk of humanity in the next decade, it will be at the behest of an evil or irresponsible human.

Good thing there are none of those in positions of power!

Yea, it's really the dumbest argument I've heard in the longest time.

"Hey, I'm building a weapon that has a 5% chance of killing us all by itself, but an 85% chance of killing us all if an idiot leader gets ahold of it".

The rational response to this is "Fucking stop then". I don't get it, our reality seemingly has gone off the rails that people would argue for us getting wiped.
