No, they don't - that implication is in the heads of people who believe AI is magic, or believe AI is advertised as magic, or believe that humans are dumb.
The actual implication is, and always been, different: AI did something humans theoretically could, given enough time, motivation and budget, but they didn't, because it wasn't the best use of time or money. AI therefore demonstrates its value, by opening up problems that were previously uneconomical to solve.

Yes! I believe that class of people are called "investors."
Your point is basically correct, I think, but the illusion of value that a corporate entity offers, and the reality of the value that the corporate entity is creating, are distinct things.
AI demonstrates it's value by solving a problem humans found not worth their time.
This is less valuable than me asking chatgpt to find me a recipe.
Not "not worth their time", but "that they cannot afford to solve".
That's the same sentence.
They cannot afford to lose the worth of their time solving that problem.
Yeah, but then it's clear it's describing a good chunk of most interesting and most important problems there are, for individuals and societies alike.
There's a lot we can't afford to work on simply because living has stupidly high overhead.
