It is clear from your post that you haven't made any effort to understand the various kinds of technology referred to under the "AI" label, and are happy to believe the worst interpretations of the technology. I don't know what to tell you other than maybe actually look at what "AI" is and the potential benefits and risks that lots of really smart people are talking about all the time in very accessible venues.When exactly are the benefits going to arrive?
How exactly is this not the same scam as crypto-currencies, NFTs, etc.? Especially when it's the same exact people involved in all three of those?
Right now AI research involves mass theft of intellectual property and it's resulted in a proliferation of cheating tools, disinformation (both active like the above example and how it's massively increased the amount of fake news/images/videos that can be put out), and filling up the internet with endless word vomit that it then proceeds to devour to make more.
If you need an example, Google "AI discovers new medicine."
