There's no middle ground for these people.
It's like trying to meet Nazis half way, it only helps them.
There is no "convincing them to submit to reason" they have an invalid ideology and are only interested in forcing it on others.
Based on my experience with spaces for discussing and arguing about AI, there is a huge amount of middle ground in peoples opinions between unconditional rejection of the technology and complete denial of every problem or threat that could be associated with it. There's also many different perspectives about what solutions to those problems are a good idea or not.
There is not anything like ideological unity. Someone who is supportive of AI for anti copyright reasons is usually going to have a lot of differences of opinion with someone who thinks AI powered surveillance will solve society's problems by eliminating crime. Someone who wants strong government crackdowns on AI because they think Eliezer is right that a superintelligence will form and kill us all will disagree in many ways with someone who thinks the technology is largely a scam. This is a new thing that's causing rapid changes, so people are going to have different ideas about it.
