Maybe this is conspiracy-brained, but I am 99% sure that the way people like Hinto is talking about this technology being so scary and dangerous is marketing to drive up the hype.
There's no way someone who worked with developing current AI doesn't understand that what he's talking about at the end of this article, AI capable of creating their own goals and basically independent thought, is so radically different from today's probability-based algorithms that it holds absolutely zero relevance to something like ChatGPT.
Not that there aren't ways current algorithm-based AI can cause problems, but those are much less marketable than it being the new, dangerous, sexy sci-fi tech.
This is the common consensus among AI critics. People who are heavily invested in so-called "AI" companies are also the ones who push this idea that it's super dangerous, because it accomplishes two goals: a) it markets their product, b) it attracts investment into "AI" to solve the problems that other "AI"s create.
