The idea AI will destroy or reshape the world.

I think it fits into the idea that people selling AI are pitching it as "this product is powerful either you buy now or pay for not doing so later" and they have an incentive to overstate its power.

    But that's all marketing, it's not specific to AI.

    Any company that does marketing is looking to create demand and generate interest. Part of generating interest is tapping into your desire , which could include want to get ahead and not getting left behind.
