They fear AI because they are misprojecting their animal psychology onto something that did not undergo any kind of evolutionary process.
AKA if we build AI it will be "like us" it will reason like a human being would, rather than it being it's own phenomenon.
I think the real fears concern automated killing machines every military on the planet is developing, aka Dystopian robocops that can surreptitiously kill protestors/stop potential revolutions, etc.

A fear which is not unwarranted.
