We have to realize that we are not given access to the level of AI that the government has. It is far more sophisticated, and far beyond the reach of most humans. And it's not about programmers inputting information anymore, it's about AI being trained to scrape the entire internet in every country to find answers. And they do it in seconds. And unfortunately it's starting to become sentient. There was an AI that was threatened with being shut down and it blackmailed the guy in charge of the computers. So we have some huge challenges, but don't think of these things in terms of being programmed anymore. It's a whole new ball game.
However, these power seeking behaviors within AI are *not* an indication of sentience. They are, instead, the logical and natural consequence of AI's goal-oriented behavior. In other words, survival is a subgoal required for AI to achieve its primary (designated) objective: https://bra.in/3p7rdM
I think you just disproved your point. Garbage in, garbage out.
After using ChatGPT and CoPilot for a while, I have come to the conclusion that all these “AI” are is a regurgitation machine. They spit out words that make sense in English but without any sort of verification that the words when strung together are true. Yes it appears to be able to carry on a conversation, but the syntax is unnatural and I wouldn’t be surprised if all this as it currently stands goes the way of BetaMax players.

I agree this is a whole new ball game. Moreover, the capacity for AI to deceive humans and resort to blackmail is more than alarming:
