I, for one…
This…isn’t how the current paradigm of ai works at all. We’ve built glorified auto-complete bots, not something that can make a physical robot behave at a human level. Best case, they build something that can carry on a conversation long enough to excite a tech journalist and aimlessly meander like the Boston dynamic bots but without the pre-programmed tasking (assuming they don’t cheat and add canned routines).
So that leaves one option: it’s a moonshot project to convince the tech illiterate public to take them and their stock price to the moon long enough for a few people to make an obscene amount of money.

100% that. It’s even in the name.
People vastly overestimate the capabilities of AI, but perhaps worse, people are simply unaware of the limitations. The hype took over, but it is (slowly) coming down to realistic levels.
We also could use more public knowledge of the sheer amount of data and energy it takes to train these models which still, by definition, end up with limited scope. It’s actually incredibly wasteful.
Robot’s first action upon becoming self-aware is to put on a leather jacket.
