I don't know what "most" do, but I see that form of argument all the time -- particularly from the highest profile doomers. Personally, I think this line of argument is driven by the hype cycle more than reality. Use chatGPT or midjourney or whatever for a while, and it's pretty easy to see that we're dramatically overweighting theories of AGI risk, and dramatically underweighting stuff like "disemploying the bottom 80% of the intelligence bell curve" with technologies that automate away lots of formerly white-collar labor. If I had to put my money on an "existential risk" attributable to AI, it would be economic strife.
