This article covers the supply side (people stating that AI is a risk), and it is good have a counteracting force showing the lack of proof. There is also the demand side: fear. News articles that tap into fears will resonate. It is good to challenge Killer AI as a myth, but we will probably need more than expert opinions to dispel it. IMO, more should be done to figure out why it is that people fear intelligence, such that they expect it to seek to destroy others (and, if I am remembering right, there was an article posted here relating that to Machiavellian mindset), and how to address the specifics of those fears.
