My theory is that they think that, with world-scale financing, testing, and iterating, they can get this thing to do a lot of work that is currently exclusively in the purview of humans today. I believe that some of the wealthiest among us tolerate the rest of us sharing their air because, for now, they must, and the second they can replace us with obedient machines, they will.

If I am right about that, then this entire hype cycle and seemingly endless funding rounds and unabated lending Ouroboros Ponzi schemes makes more sense. They’re not delusional that the product works better than it does, they are desperate for the holy grail of greed: not having to ever share anything with anyone ever again.
