This is true, depending on what you mean by smarter. They are undeniably more capable. However, the trendy, cool things is to hate on AI, rejecting all else. Sure, capitalism sucks, and the powerful rich people and companies who control AI suck. AI itself, though, can very easily result in massive benefits for humanity as a whole.
“AI” is garbage generator, that consumes our resources to output mediocre slop. Case in point is your PFP.
It’s neither “trendy” nor “cool”, just common opinion, as more and more people get to try it and see how useless it actually is, for anything beyond average (often empirically wrong) output.
Recent LLMs are very capable at doing almost all simple computing tasks. At some point in the future, we will have AI that is more generally useful than current LLMs. If and when we have truly general purpose AI, it could benefit humanity in countless ways. It could also continue to cause harm. We can’t know for sure.

Wow, even a personal anecdote! That’s, like, irrefutable!
(since you didn’t really understand what I’m saying, I’ll clarify - this was a Musk/Tesla reference)
Listen, next year I’m curing cancer and solving world hunger, thus making ““AI”” obsolete. Care to invest?
Until then, it’s best if we evaluate technology at its current standing. Which is garbage generator that requires way too much resources.
A personal anecdote is all that’s needed to refute a blanket statement like the implication that self-driving does not exist yet.
Again, it seems you are just a really upset and negative person. I feel bad for you. It would be very easy to have a pleasant discussion or debate on the topic.
If we only ever evaluated technology on its present state of being, we wouldn’t have planes for instance. That’s not a really sound methodology. “It doesn’t work now. Therefore, it should be abandoned.” Like, what?
Though, perhaps what you mean is “we shouldn’t be investing billions in unproven technology.” That, I agree with. I think most would.

I know, for sure.
You truly don’t, though. You believe it. That doesn’t make it true. We do not have enough data to know what the future holds regarding AI.
– You. Just now.
Full self driving next year.
We already have it
Sure you do. In your colony on Mars.
How fucking gullible can you get, jfc.
I’ve been in vehicles with self-driving, and they perform better than the average driver in every situation I’ve encountered.
You seem like a really angry person. I’m sorry your experiences in life are so miserable.

More capable doesnt mean its smarter. A hammer can be made to be more capable but that doesn’t make it smart.
That’s not 1:1, and like I said, it depends on what you mean by smarter.
