A nice addition: while I regard myself as a longtermist, it is great to be able to argue for existential risk (or GCR) reduction using totally vanilla actuarial arguments. Indeed, one does not even need any nontrivial ethical theory to motivate it. This is just prudential.

An informed and balanced anti-AI-hype person - who gives detailed criticisms of exaggerations of near-term, e.g economic usefulness of AI systems - could contribute to the debate. Such people are lacking likely in part because people with those views often focus on other issues.
