I'd suggest having a bit more respect for the people you disagree with.
People are raising quite specific concerns about this technology and its potential impacts, and are doing so in a world that has been coping with the unintended consequences of new technologies since the industrial revolution. You may perfectly validly disagree with their concerns, but to ascribe them to an emotional need for humans to be "special" doesn't contribute to the debate. It's just incredibly condescending.
You could do worse than to avoid making arguments of the form "your points are so wrong you can only possibly be making them out of spite/jealousy/insecurity/other" in all debates on principle.
