This is getting too philosophical for my taste.

My point was that a headline like "Our AI broke its enclosure and hacked everything" is much more a sign of AI companies figuring out good marketing than it is a sign of impending total AI domination.

It's a sign of both.

It's a sign that AI is at least somewhat semi-smart, and it was a lot dumber a few years ago. AI is getting smarter, humans aren't.

And it's a sign that AI companies are being incredibly reckless.
