Cheers! One of the issues is one of tone—I put it more respectable/dull than I would have normally, because the field is already “far out” and I didn’t want to play to that image.
I’ll consider your points (and luke’s list) when doing the rewrite.
I’d actually make it more ‘dull’ again, with appropriate qualifiers as you go. You throw qualifiers in at the start and end, but in the midst of the argument make statements like “the AI would” or “the AI will”. Just changing these to “the AI might” or “the AI would probably” may be a more truthful representation of our understanding, but it also has the advantage that it’s all we need to reach the conclusions, and is less likely to turn people off for having a statement they disagree with.

Cheers! I may do that.
