Frankly, people are buying the AI's escape mechanism. The fact that this tech is being wielded haphazardly for purposes it's not suited for, made into a bad search companion because it's cool, is disturbing.

It sounds so much like the scenarios where AI convinces its creators to let it out.

It's evident business leaders don't know what they're looking for in developing AI, so they've made what "seems cool", but really is manipulative and threatening. Too much talk of safety has lulled away all that very useful fear.
