So AI can't exist without stealing people's content and it can't exist without using too much energy. Why does it exist then?

Because the shareholders need more growth. They might create Ultron along the way, but think of the profits, man!

There's no way these chatbots are capable of evolving into Ultron. That's like saying a toaster is capable of nuclear fusion.
