The problem is that AI enables ICE/Gestapo (or any other bad actor) to be much more Gestapo-y. Both mass disinformation and mass surveilance become much easier with it. Potentially, warfare as well, enabling a trillionaire shitstain to control a literal army of robots. So it works as a multiplier to your fear, unfortunately. To me, that is the real danger of AI, not the hypothetical threat of machines exterminating humanity Terminator style.

Why is it not here yet?!
