leenia, There is a vast difference between the advanced General AI and the chat versions that can be publicly owned.
I have followed Lex Fridman for years who works on AI and has a YouTube interview show of the world's best scientists, but I am not capable of describing the inner workings of AI. I was even introduced to a pioneer of AI concepts at Harvard decades ago but I did not see the future of AI at the time. I still do not have a final conclusion about this ongoing evolution.

Some scientists see an ultimate danger while others see surprising benefits.
I admit it has to be a bit of both.
