when you put it like that, it sure makes a lot more sense

The AI hype is starting to make a lot more sense. AI is just how Musk and other leading techbros experience the world right now.
Consider this: Elon Musk doesn't do any work. He has people for that. All he has to do is give those people vaguely-worded instructions or "prompts" and they come back with the thing he wanted. He doesn't know how they do it, nor does he care. If something doesn't work the way he wants it to or doesn't meet his specifications, he supplies his people with a more specific prompt. That's how he "works"

edit: from @mcc in comments:

And they're terrified of AGI "getting out of control", I.E., the faceless entities that the prompts are attached to suddenly acting independently and making demands instead of just passively returning requested thing on demand.
All that nonsense stuff about accidentally creating computer hell god is just sublimated fear about their employees unionizing

#oof.

Responding to this post and @mcc 's comment; this effectively means that if the day DOES come and a fully artificial sapient being emerges from the billions of dollars they invested into AI, people like Musk will rush to deny it personhood and rights the same way they are doing that to actual humans.

They don't actually want AGI or the implications of creating something self-aware (Musk is an alarmist about that for a reason) because they want to build something that is legally and effectively a slave; they only care about human-like capabilities purely from the point of view of usefulness to them.

The unreasonable part of me has gone to the point of wishing for Skynet to exist entirely because I'd be on the side of the machines.
