If you genuinely think that the current generation of AI could "spin out of control" in a way that could do great harm to humanity (other than the real, tangible harms that it's already doing all the time, every day), then you've accepted a false narrative perpetuated by people who just want to sell you shit.

"AI", in the sense that we've all come to understand it in the past 5ish years is just advertising — advertising for a product with no actual utility and no viable business model. The only danger we should be worried about is the economic consequences of the AI bubble busting and plugging the developed world into yet another brutal economic recession.
