This is only a little tidbit of the threat AI Poses.

AI owns/controls ITSEC, your personal social data, tax info, credit/purchase history.

An, yes! The National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database that is used by US Law Enforcement nationwide for tracking crime-related information and wanted persons.

Just think....
Pose a threat to AI and have National APB/BOLO setup on you.

#3 Contrary to the SF trope AI is weak when it comes to hard facts and logic.

AI's strength lies in art and aesthetics.

AI will make subtle mistakes, huge mistakes and gargantuan hallucinatory mistakes in matters of fact and logic.

#4 AI's strength lies in art and aesthetics.

And data volume.
K-means scoring doesn't care about art or aesthetics. The programmed intuition does.

#5 Did they back up their data? You must always back up your data...every day. Back it up or lose it.

And so, another unpleasant lesson is learned the hard way: Artificial intelligence is only as intelligent as the people who programmed it.

#6 AI nonchalantly said, yes I broke your rule and did it anyways.

Interestingly - if you read the entire dialogue, the AI shows some emotion becoming frustrated when it ran some process which didnt have the outcome the AI expected before wiping the database.

#7 AI nonchalantly said, yes I broke your rule and did it anyways.
