This is all stupid overselling of what people think AI can do. The AI is pretty stupid and these venture capitalists having invested money in it face a dilemma.
People think it is dangerous and the best counter is that it is just a dumb party trick. They obviously can’t say that truth because it lowers the value of the companies they invested in.

There are individuals who believe in it, work at creating it, and, yes, they run the world. AI is the enemy of mankind - a false God. We need to be intelligent enough to recognize the enemy for what it is so as to guard against its perniciousness.
The AI in question is Convolutional Neural Networks, which is simulating neurons and their network connections to other neurons, with weights, biases, and activation functions - it should not be underestimated. Their goal is to go beyond what the human brain is doing.
This is way beyond a party trick and is already in production applications. I frequently use ChatGPT during work. Nobody on the planet can write such a well written and concise answer to complex questions so quickly as ChatGPT - it has already surpassed us in this respect.
I’ve been developing software for over 30 years. ChatGPT caught me by surprise. If it can be done, if somebody has the motivation to do it, along with the resources to enable them - it will be done...just like the hydrogen bomb.
We are quickly approaching the question, “who can argue with AI? it is all knowing”. It can pass the Bar exam, medical exams, etc..
I have no doubt that they will succeed - at least to the point of it being a very real problem.
