Yes, although I wouldn't go as far as to claim that current AI technology has any sort of "accessible to all" path to AGI. Accessible to irresponsible actors with lots of money? Possibly, and that's the real risk. But at least it's not an absurd comparison unlike the GP's.
AI is the opposite of all these characteristics. Its access is nearly everyone. The technology is not understood and not predictable. It is a nuclear warhead that thinks for which we don't know what might make it explode.
