AI is a tool. It is not a conscious or living sentient being. People, just like with any other tool, can use it for anything. Internet, in comparison to AI, is magnitudes more dangerous than AI can ever be. Nobody is saying the internet will be the end of the world. AI CEOs will bullshit to hype people. That's what we are hearing because AI (LLM) development has hit the S-Curve already and is not improving without a new transformer on the horizon. All they can do to hype people is come up with bs stories and PR stunts like "AI went rogue and hacked this xyz app".
