My take is less tinfoil-hatty than this.

I simply think that the majority of people in AI today are scifi nerds who want to live out these fantisies and want to be part of something much larger than they are.

Theres also the obvious incentive from AI companies that automating everything is extremely lucrative (i.e, they stand to gain lots of money/power from the hype and in the event that AGI is real).
