And why certain people are concerned that it’s potentially a significant step towards a technological singularity/super intelligence extinction scenario.

It’s not google because it’s *generative*. It takes the words and metadata and all of the stuff on the internet, and it can make something new based off of that.
The best example is the [lawyers that used chat-gpt](https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2023/06/08/lawyer-used-chatgpt-in-court-and-cited-fake-cases-a-judge-is-considering-sanctions/?sh=24a45c847c7f) and it spit out fake cases that never actually happened. Google search cannot generate things like that, it can only show what was generated by other people/bots.
This property can be bad, like in the lawyer case, or it can be good, like if you need a specific code snippet on an obscure subject, it can give you custom code rather than you having to search, parse the stack overflow posts, see if it’s actually what you need, and then adjust it to what you need.
And people are just being scared of doomsday scenarios, just like they always have. It’s nothing new to be scared of something that is new.
