Generative AI - such as Chat GPT and friends - doesn't create anything. It predicts the next word or pixel based on the sum of the input into a neural net. There is no creativity. Thus, by definition, it can be no more "dangerous" than the training data.
The people screeching about the "dangers of AI!!!!" are basically the DEI department in the AI world. They add nothing of value but get paid too much to leech off the companies that were doing just fine without them. They have to keep everything at emergency level so nobody will notice that there's no substance to what they're saying.
Ignore them.
