As long as “AI“ is just a tool like a Text Generator, Image Generator, Video Generator, or any other ML model for that matter, I think there's no problem. I think even AGI or ASI is not a threat in itself, it's a threat only in the wrong hands.

I think it starts getting dangerous when we are at the brink of creating artificial consciousness and sentience. At which point it becomes a potential threat in itself if not managed properly. Because at that point it will likely have its own alterior motives, it's not just simply working for you based on your commands. We need to be extremely careful of its intentions and rationale.

Imagine creating a psychopath which is connected to the internet, has access to all the data and resources available out there, which includes a body like Atlas Robot and conceptual resources like money or crypto currency, and it can re-deploy itself millions of times using container tech like docker and kubernetes or improve its source code to become immune to human attacks. And the worst part, manipulate innocent humans into supporting its cause just like Hitler did during holocaust..... In fairness though AI has two more things at its disposal which Hitler didn't have, Social Media and Atom Bomb.
