I think it was Slavoj Zizek who said "it's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism."
Almost every ethical problem being attributed to "AI" really is a problem with the socio-economic system we have, as these problems manifest themselves in other technologies as well.
But just like people can imagine the end of the world before they can imagine the end of capitalism, they also imagine that we can somehow erase a broad range of technologies before we can end capitalism.
But really if one wants to solve these ethical problems one needs to be a serious anti-capitalist. If you're not, then you're not very serious about these issues, in my opinion.
