One thing that's pretty reassuring in all of this is that as a language model, it just regurgitates variations on what it's seen before. I've seen those same "AI will take over the world in this way" takes from human sources multiple times, with nearly identical phrasing. I'd probably be genuinely concerned if it came up with new and creative ideas that humans did not previously talk about.

Given that humans don't actually know how an AI could take over the world (in detail necessary to do it) or take over a country, this type of AI will not be able to do it either.
