There are many AI risks we can be worried about. Security, bias, job replacement, political manipulation - They hardly receive any coverage
If you want to debate AI risk, you don't have to invoke fictive demons. Then again, perhaps the story won't sell as well

And if you want to debate existential threats, you can look at nuclear weapons, antibiotic resistance, climate change...
-
I'm also cool with stories about superintelligence as an existential threat - but please file them in the science-fiction section.

How to prove unicorns don't exist? How to prove there's no connection between current AI & superintel? We don't even have formal definitions

I've become convinced that the term "artificial intelligence" should be discarded by scientists/engineers and left up to Sci-Fi.
-
The Sci-Fi associations are just too strong to shift public perception back to something more sensible IMHO.
