I have yet to find any convincing evidence to support the plausibility of something like AGI. While I'm certainly not trusting ANY big tech AI corp to be ethical about their AI development, and I'm not writing off the possibility of AI going rogue in limited cases, knowing how this tech actually works makes it really easy to be skeptical of AGI and concepts similar to it.

So, my belief is that the second theory is definitely the most likely. GenAI is literally just complicated and wide-reaching program logic with absurd amounts of training data to apply that logic to. Calling it artificial "intelligence" is a bit of a misnomer when you get down to it.
