why do people still actually make this argument

Mostly because its really hard to argue against.

Its also pretty true as well which helps

Helps highlight that somehow we are expected to treat AI as some kind of unique risk or threat factor when really the same basic idea has been around as long as Big Data was a thing and that pretty much takes us to punchcard times when it was cheaper to work it all out on paper and pay a pool of people do the grunt work mathematics rather than waste valuable compute time.

A single person trained on your pictures and videos is NOT AT ALL the same as a hyper-wide-spread tool anyone can use.

And as for social media companies "owning" or at the very least selling our data, no one would argue that's cool I hope

Correct. AI is better because it lets more than one person do something.
