What the hacking incidents show, and what's actually concerning, is that these tools are useful for humans without any hacking ability. It's like that wave of ransomware attacks that lead to hospitals and gas pipelines getting hacked, but now any asshole can do it rather than hacking being gated behind skill barriers. That's significant and important, but it's not AI going FOOM or whatever.
