If anything, the entire narrative around AI "safety" is essentially a propaganda win for OpenAI and other major players. It let's them keep pandering to legislators in the push for "safety regulations" that are in reality an attempt to seal off corporate AI behind a competition killing walled garden of new laws.
Current AI is nowhere near anything resembling an all-consuming AGI monster. The reality is so far from this that it's laughable and the uses of current AI are (except in terms of possible scale at which visual and text sludge can be produced) not much different from the kind of human-created spam and visual sludge made until recently mostly by humans, many of them minimally paid third world content mill writers.
I'd love to read a specifically enumerated list of other real dangers.
