The "I am" in Ex 3:14, in Hebrew "היה hâyâh" many definition by Bible lexicon but not one as - I will be what I will be.

I believe, Jesus Himself as what He said in John 8:58.
Joh 5:37 “And the Father who sent Me, He has testified about Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.
