In some areas, like being able to afford a car, people in China are probably better off than people in the US.

The businessmen in China know they will be shot by the government if they are too exploitative.
There is no use case for chat boxes. Uber was losing money, but it was driving people to places. Amazon was losing money, but it was delivering books to people. Chat boxes don't do shit.
Uber would have failed if their cars just drove in circles. Amazon would have failed if they didn't deliver anything. There is no real use case for this tech, just like with scam coins or monkey pictures, this is tech searching for a problem to solve.
The most foundational aspect of business is that you gotta do something to get money. What exactly have these chat boxes produced? Shitty porn and incorrect advice. If that's the best they've got after consuming the entirety of human knowledge and guzzling an ocean of freshwater, this shit ain't going nowhere.
AI isn't real, but it's gonna ruin society anyway. There is absolutely zero possibility for genAI to develop intelligence because it's just a probablistic chatbot. It doesn't know anything; it's just rolling dice to guess what word to spit out each time. A high school student who copies his friend's calculus homework will eventually learn a little calculus. A chatbot will never learn any calculus. Claiming these genAI models will develop intelligence with better compute technology is like claiming a puppet will develop intelligence with better string technology.
