What you're calling AI is a mass marketing ponzy scheme. LLMs are not even actual AI. Beyond that issue, its development is in the hands of capital exclusively, and it will only exist to serve capital interests which come at the expense of the lower and working classes by necessity given what corporations (which are essentially unregulated in current climates) are designed to do. What you're calling AI will only be used to hurt human lives and worsen living conditions for all of us (before you nitpick, I think enabling the 0.1% and their hoarding pathology hurts them too). I personally believe you're already aware of that and are cynically trolling, and despite that I'm giving you the honest truth and factual reality of this subject because there is nothing good about being a techno-fetishist sociopath who thinks the answer to humanity's problems is to make humanity itself obsolete, even if it's 'cool'. You clearly got the wrong fucking message from Terminator.
This is why when actual AI emerges I can only hope it'll be in the hands of a public or collective development process and designed with an intent of progression and cooperation in mind.
Oh man you're damn right.
