Perhaps a better question is, why are the elites so obssessed with promoting AI?
Oh look there's more! The vague gesturing towards our crumbling NHS (accurate statement) as if that somehow means we can't talk about AI as well. And then it goes on the describe what is essentially the "paperclip maker" thought experiment in the most ridiculous way so you don't think about it.
