See? You're still seeing AI as if it was human or if it was comparable to a human, and that's the issue. Would you make the same statement about... Idk, cloud computing of photo editing tools? AI is just a technology, it does not "grow" into anything by itself and it's neither good or bad intentioned, and that's because it does not have any intentions

If it can’t grow by itself, it is not general purpose artificial intelligence. It would be an overly complicated elevator control system and making its behavior deterministic and simple to reason about would enable it to be used to solve problems in industrial processes safely.

Think SHRDLU.
