How much of the "AI is going rogue" talks is just a publicity stunt?

Probably most of it. Have "AIs" invented new techniques, or are they just applying techniques humans invented? It's the latter.

Remember that first time you heard about speculative execution attacks (Spectre)? That was something new, something unheard of. If an "AI" is going rogue, something previously unheard of would show up. Otherwise, they're just doing what patterns are in their training data, and doing a lot of it. And, it's a human telling them to do so.

A swarm of AI agents that knows what humans know about hacking but can do it far faster... that's still a formidable attacker. Not novel. Not "escaping". But formidable.

"Escaping" would be using the attack to install a copy of itself somewhere. But we've seen that before, too, with viruses and worms. And if it has to install an 8 GB image to install a copy of itself, it's not going to be the stealthiest of worms...

Well, since all I've seen is publicity, I'd have to say 100%.
