Like many situations in the current world, it's all a problem. Those with profit incentives to do so will create as many problems for society as they can.

None of it is merely a distraction, we just don't have the capacity to defend against all of it.

It is fair to say we might be practically better off focusing on one form of attack and sacrificing defense against another, but the only way to actually be safe is to stop your enemy from attacking at all. Either we shut down breakneck AI development (nearly impossible and guaranteed to have its own bad outcomes) or we slide rapidly into a more and more dangerous world.
