Don&#x27;t these arguments kind of assume a few things though?  Like, &#x27;strong&#x27; AI being implemented into things that really don&#x27;t need it?  I mean, the paperclip example in the Medium article... did that factory ever need AI involved?  Couldn&#x27;t a simple computer program no more advanced than those of today do the exact same job... without the risk of all that &#x27;thinking and making copies of itself&#x27; stuff?<p>Maybe I&#x27;m being naive here, but you don&#x27;t need strong AI in everything.<p>And they also kind of assume that there&#x27;s only one AI at a time (what if two factories are run by AIs designed to build different things, and they both end up in this sort of situation at the same time?), that everything is connected to the internet in some way, that humanity couldn&#x27;t simply wipe out anything that poses a threat (and no, an AI in a factory environment wouldn&#x27;t get access to anything that would allow for nuclear&#x2F;chemical&#x2F;biological weapons).  Just seems like a lot of this speculation is based around a society that&#x27;s making tons of careless mistakes one after another. But maybe I&#x27;m missing something here.
