The thing about AI being bullsh*t has some to do with the stated goals of what it is supposed to do for us, and some to do with the fact that LLMs at least, do not have any internal representation of the world have no understanding that the sequence of characters it's dealing with correspond to anything out there that we call "realty" (hence the hallucinations).
That said, AIs going out there and doing things is a very real risk. It was something I first heard about in this video 11 years ago:

I'm not sure if this new generation of AIs have handled the "internal reprsentation (= modeling) of the world" problem. They are ayt least acting like there's some movement on that front.
