The real threat concerning AI is humanity. Specifically our inability as a species to protect our most broken and vulnerable. Those are the ones who will inevitabily believe that AI is sentient and why not? The humans in their life have done nothing but lie, shame, and ignore them. Shove them in corners that aren't easily visible to the day to day American dream. While these chatbots tell them things they've never heard before. Things that finally make sense. This is the real threat my friend. I would suggest taking things like this more seriously at the moment.
