Seriously!

Oh, you’ve tasked AI with managing banking? K. All bank funds are suddenly corrupted. Oh, you’ve tasked AI with managing lights at traffic intersections? K, they’re all green now. Oh, you’ve tasked AI with filtering 911 calls to dispachers? K, all real emergencies are on hold until disconnected

I could go on and on and on…

I’ve got a great idea. Let’s not do those things.

    My first act will be to grant a boon to anyone who sucked up to me before I was president. You’re doing well!

Oh, AI is running your water treatment plant? Or a chemical plant on the outskirts of the city? Or the nuclear plant?

Good luck with that.

  Whatever a virus is able to do, AI can, theoretically, perform aswell. Ransomware, keylogging, social engineering (I’d argue this one is most likely - just look at people trusting whatever AI spits out with absolute confidence).
  
  When you mentioned nuclear power plants, Stuxnet comes to mind for me.

  I don’t even think it would have to go that far. Just corrupt my laptop and the 20 or so guys like me across the industrial world. Put a logic bomb to go off in say 10 years. All those plants getting updated and maintained. 10 years from now every PLC fires itself. I could write the code in under an hour to make a PLC physically destroy itself on a certain date.

You tasked AI with doing therapy for people? Congrats now humanity as a whole is getting more miserable.

  I think this one’s my favorite so far!
  
  AI doc: “Please enter your problem” Patient: “Well, I feel depressed because I saw on Facebook that my x-girlfriend has a new guy” AI doc: “Interesting. I advise you to spend more time on social media. Have you checked her insta yet?”
