Does that apply to any other type of technology, or are they just witch hunting?

any other type of technology

Are there, for example, nuclear weapons available for general use?

What kind of straw-man fallacy is that?

Please be rational.

Nuclear power keeps lots of people lights on. Same a AI technology is already making lots of people live better. For instance, in my country the IRS equivalent is already using it to successfully detect fiscal fraud.

That's not a straw man. Nuclear technology is highly regulated.

I do not know how regulations come into play. But I'm OK with regulating technology according to its potential (real, not imagined) risk.

What I'm not OK with is with primitivism.
