I mean, part of the role of science fiction is to try to look at the future as technology changes it. Not all of it is hard sci-fi, but I wouldn't across-the-board discount sci-fi. A lot of changes have been in sci-fi before reality.
The end of the world narrative pushers are actually the "AI safety" people that work at the big AI companies, and people like Huang himself that like to boost completely made up narratives like "the AI threatened us when we said we'd turn it off!" (Invariably if that happened it's because they... prompted it to...)
