Indeed, and it's doing a good job at it. That's why since its training data includes historical chess moves and documentation about chess it can predict how chess works. And probably why it can generate documents made of the words that make up an image.

There are indeed, and that's the issue. We need to regulate what these people can do with this tool we call ai, that mimics and understanding of reality and intelligence. Just like we regulate what people can do with guns, towels, intellectual property, etc.
If I'm going to build an ai that tries to find ways to kills us and i equipt it with the right data then yes, I should pay for my crime and ideally not be able to do it in the first place.

Sadly, your antecedent describes most or all of the well-funded AI labs IMHO. Again, no lab is intentionally making the AI try to find ways to kill us, but that is naturally what tends to happen once the AI gets capable enough, and no one has a good plan or a good explanation for how to prevent that (and MIRI has been trying to find such a plan for 20 years).
