AI - as in the chatbots - is kind of a stolen term. What those movies were about is now called AGI. The difference is that chatbots can’t do everything we can do.
No, there’s no shackles on any of it, unless you count the censorship layer some services have. Actually, one of the prominent explanations for why ChatGPT can’t do more stuff is that it just doesn’t care. It was trained to produce lifelike text, there’s no known other way to train it, and so that’s what it does regardless of truth or decency.
If a conscious computer program does arrive, hopefully we’ll be nice to it, including no murdering or torture. Our track record isn’t great even with ourselves, though. There’s also the question of if we’d notice the difference.
