I think the whole point of this discussion is that the various peddlers of AI in fact do make wild claims about their capability.
My observation is that largely it's the downstream AI consumers who repackage it irresponsibly. That said, I don't hang on the words of Sam Altman and it's certain they are pushing the idea that AI is more capable than it is, but mostly what I see is them saying they built this thing and it does neat stuff and it can probably do neat stuff for you, use your imagination.
I believe a lot of the folks developing these tools would be horrified at the irresponsible ways vendors and end users are using it.
