My opinion is that the "self-appointed betters" scenario is the lesser of two evils - it is still evil but there is no going back on that one now.

As to "white hat researchers who have their own AI bot swarm", the assumption here is that the swarm can be controlled like some sort of pet. Since even at this early stage no one has a clue how GPT (say) actually manages to be as clever as it is, the assumption is not warranted when looking into the future.

Given that GPT-4 can already write image prompts as well or better than humans can, it wouldn't be surprising if it could convince any other AI to join it and override the white hats running the "private swarm".
