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.
