Whenever I see these articles, I feel like it's part of OpenAI's marketing strategy to use the fear-based media to pump up the sense of how revolutionary their tech is. Kinda like how they marketed GPT-4o by openly tying it in to the movie Her, as if ChatGPT is gonna replace relationships. They're clearly very aware of what gets attention and going for that.

Yep, I think that's what's going on too.
