I want to expand on this.

Just based on AI’s current capabilities, I think it’s already an extremely powerful tool; yet most people will never use it to its full potential for anything really important—most people are going to use AI as a therapist (dangerous) or, at best, for cooking tips (useful, but not important) rather than using it to build apps that give them an unfair advantage over others. Sure, the people saying that AI will take over the world and destroy us all are exaggerating its current capabilities, likely to aid the entire AI market, so it’s fair to say that AI is technically overhyped. And it’s also true that the current generation of AIs are just language models that don’t have a genuine ability to think the way we do—but it appears to come awfully close, close enough that it doesn’t really matter. If you understand your role as the director doing the high level thinking and decision making, then AI doesn’t need to “think” to be an extremely useful and intelligent slave, one that gives you an insane amount of leverage over the rest of humanity.

AI itself won’t take over the world, but the people that utilize AI will. Hopefully that’s us!
