I've always consider the psychological critiques of AI risk (eg "the singularity is just rapture of the nerds") to be very weak ad hominems. However, they might be relevant for parts of the AI risk thesis that depend on the judgements of the people presenting it. The most relevant part would be in checking whether people have fully considered the arguments against their position, and gone out to find more such arguments.
Autist people like to put one thing on the other (see more about autism and repetive behaviour in https://www.autismspeaks.org/science/science-news/study-suggests-repetitive-behaviors-emerge-early-autism) Recursive self-improvement is the same idea on higher level. That is why nerds (me too) may overestimate the probability of such type of AI. Sorry to said that.
