One thing will defeat the AI Doomers easily: Time. Little by little things will change and AI will diffuse into everyday people's lives and they'll realize it wasn't the scary bedtime story Harry Potter told them. Soon enough everyone has a friendly AI personal assistant that knows everything about them and that they *love.* Not long after, a self-driving car saves a friend's life from certain death by swerving with super human reflexes to avoid a horrible accident. In another small town, personalized AI medicine saves someone's grandma from cancer. In another, a kind and gentle robot takes care of a mother in her old age. And then the mood shifts and people realize what these folks are trying to take away from them *personally.* And pretty soon passing restrictions on AI is like passing benefits cuts on senior citizens. And the more they push, the more everyday Americans will realize they're trying to take something away that they love and they will be very very mad. And that's when this Luddite movement goes the way of the last one.
