like if you claim to be a tech minded person you should be demanding transparency and accountability from these AI companies.

Being convinced by the endless promise of AGI "being right around the corner and solving everything" is such an obvious grift. Elon has been using this same strategy with promises of full self driving tech for over 10 years now. Are you really that desperate to "be more productive"??
