I don't think most/any of those points would likely calm the nerves of someone who's worried about AI, like Elon Musk. Those people seem to be concerned not with the current state of AI, but the future state: what happens if we do succeed in creating strong AI, what will the AI then do. The fact that we're not as close as movies and bad news articles might have you believe is inconsequential to their reasoning, since that reasoning is based on three tenets:
A) We're striving to make strong AI.
B) It seems plausible that as computing and AI research continues, we'll get to strong AI eventually given that brains are "just" extremely complex computers.
C) We do not know what strong AI will be able to do or how it will act, if it exceeds human intelligence.
I'm not trying to troll on behalf of AI fearmongering, I swear. But I have read some of the warnings about AI that some (occasionally notable) people have made. I haven't seen many/any responses that don't just boil down to "there's nothing to worry about because strong AI is still a long ways off, so let's just keep working on it". As I noted before, those kind of counterarguments don't seem to address the anti-AI concerns in the long run.
