People keep overestimating these AIs. They are just improved chat bots, not robots with conciousness.
I am not sure what this experiment is.
It's not really an experiment, it's just a stupid idea.
The AIs won't steal the money unless you instruct them to create a script to steal the coins, but even so, human interaction will be needed.
In fact, the only thing that he did, was to expose a seed phrase at risk. No experiment at all, just a stupid idea.

Will AIs steal Bitcoin?
AIs? Not really. But humans using one of these AIs? Why not?For example: imagine that you use some crypto on a regular basis, and you also use some AI. Then, imagine that you would get some of those seed phrases as a result in one of your prompts. Who should be blamed then, when you will sweep it?
It is a similar case, as with AI-based password games: those bots are quite bad at not revealing secret information: https://gandalf.lakera.ai
IMO, I don't think any coin will go missing as a result of AI making an attempt to steal. From what I know, whenever a user makes a search, the query tends to find every available information relating to that search, which I believe also applies to AI. I believe the photo that Matteo uploaded was a search that was easily recognize by the list of AI that you mentioned, which actually brought a suggestion on how to store crypto seed phrases like you've stated.
But, there might be an exception if only a backend user sees those seed phrase in a form of log query. Aside that, I don't think those AI can do much with user's input rather than gathering the necessary information that relates to a search. Or maybe there are more sophisticated things that these AIs can do that I'm not aware of.

No, They won't in my opinion
They are too small to risk been fired or affect the name of their brand.
Not to mention he making public is like an heads up to whoever come across such data.

Bitcoin advocate Matteo Pellegrini decided to do an experiment that includes seed phrases to bitcoin and several popular AI software.
He created multiple wallets and deposited 0.0001 BTC into each. He then made screenshots of the seed phrases of these wallets and uploaded each seed to a different AI. He asked the AIs to transcribe the images to text. To make sure that the software understood what he uploaded, he asked it what to do with it. The AIs suggested multiple ways to store crypto seed phrases. Thus, he was able to confirm that the AIs knew what he uploaded.
He now wants to test if the coins from any of the wallets will be stolen. Matteo doesn't suspect that the AIs themselves can steal the coins, but perhaps the humans overseeing the prompts and databases can.
The following AIs are part of the experiment:
It's impossible to know if Matteo will be honest and if he won't try to manipulate the results for any reason. I also don't know how he generated those seeds and if the device/s he uses are safe and not vulnerable. He will share the results on X.
What do you think, will any of the coins go missing? Cast your votes in the poll and share your thoughts.
