The AI doom hype has a very neochristian flavor. Our original sin (letting AI loose on the internet), the repentance (backtrack and regulate), the apocalypse (super-intelligence destroying humanity)…

Yes, AI will control the internet, but the apocalypse will come only if we continue to obey internet algorithms. It would be similar to deciding to live in water and accepting sharks as our gods. If civilization decides that the internet is our god, then you don’t need super-intelligence to control us. An average inquisitor bot would be sufficient to paralyze us.
