"AI is hard" is part of the reason why the profit potential is hard to bound; if it were easy it would also be very easy to assess the profit potential: It would hardly be profitable at all, it would simply be the economic baseline. And I don't see how "it's dangerous" contradicts "it's hard to bound the profit" either.
I don't think I said anywhere that Google shouldn't do it because it's hard. I said they shouldn't do it because it's dangerous and because it's not the kind of problem they know how to solve.
