Exactly. You can see how many people's view of what AI is, is based off watching the Terminator movies, or HAL-9000.
The real problem with AI is also the greatest achievement it has - it makes things that would take thousands of low skilled workers, take only a small tech team occasionally reviewing a section of the AI output for accuracy.
That can be a good thing when increasing corporate efficiency, but also allows for a surveillance state to be created by malevolent governments. And yes, that means your natalist buddies.
I do find it funny how you oppose a surveillance state though. Hitler would have creamed himself to fainting if he could build an AI secret police.

This is you basing opinions on what you've seen in movies. The entire point of Fascism is "everything for the State, but the State for the People". Hitler didn't rejuvenate the German economy because he forced and threatened, he simply set the priority of the State to help the People and then convinced the People to give their all for the State. The only thing he needed "secret" police for was hunting down the myriad subversive elements that infested Germany at the time. They weren't exactly hiding it and loyal Germans didn't have to worry about being pulled out of their beds in the middle of the night.
You're conflating this with Communism, which postulates that the People are the State, which is nonsense. The State will always be effectively run be a small group of people and Communism fails to acknowledge this so, instead of the exceptionally talented being promoted to positions of power, it's the people who say "we are all equal" but, in actuality, accumulate their own personal power base who rise to the top, which are the absolute last people you want running your State. And, since "we're all equal", we all need to be watched so long as there's any possibility that anyone might be acting against the best interest of the State (except, of course, those who weasled their way to the top); hence, Secret Police.

Don't forget the "ugh" part.
Yes, anyone who opposed the regime. Don't pretend that it wasn't as autocratic as communism.
