If there really was a sure fire way to get rich quick, why sell books to the public? Why not keep it to yourself and apply it to make money?
The same applies to AI. If it was really all that, they wouldn't be selling tokens to the public. They would be forming corporate partnerships, building products and conquering markets --- starting with the financial markets.
Those who can --- do. Those who can't --- sell books and "tokens".
Rest of your analogy/arguments are just a lot of nonsense too.
Electricity is valuable, and by that logic Siemens Energy should build and own all factories under the sun. TI should stop selling their calculators and compete in Math Olympiad instead!
Can they make more money doing this? I don't think so --- and apparently, they don't either.
Finance and equity markets would be the first place I would look to apply "super intelligence" for huge, quick cconomic returns.
Instead, they peddle "tokens". Wonder why?

It's a tool tho, not a panacea. With the right guidance, for example, you can get some good code results.

Catch 22 --- In order to pay for itself, AI needs to eliminate the very jobs that build the experience and expertise necessary to provide the "right guidance".
At the same time, this will restrict production of quality content that is needed for model training.
In other words, AI creates a self degrading/defeating feed back loop.
