I assume the reason than MNT is added to a discussion on AI is because we're trying to make the future sound more plausible

No, MNT is part of the discussion because it is taken for granted, along with cryonics, parallel quantum worlds, Dyson spheres, and various less spectacular ideas. You may want to see analogous complaints that I have previously made.
