My issue is with the media-friendly name. It's not "intelligence" - at least not from what I've seen. The current bots simply compile information very quickly in a pleasant format. That's not any more intelligent than a child reciting his "baltimore catechism" in the 1960's. Regurgitating what's already been said isn't intelligence.
Until I see a bot actually derive an idea on its own, "AI" is simply an elegant compiler, like a fancy TI handheld calculator for words, except far more dangerous in that the TI manufacturers had to produce a chipset that hewed to a very strict set of rules, while those who feed "AI" may choose to feed it whatever claptrap they feel is "important", and worse, may eschew that information that isn't considered to be "helpful to the advancement of humankind", ie. subjective.
I see "AI" as a ruse, much like early days "religion" (see the the Bible's Book of Leviticus, if you need help sleeping at night) whereby someone decides to invoke a "higher authority" to impose rules on the "simpletons" "for their own good". Since the state-controlled media has completely lost it's cache, those intent on keeping the "simpletons" at bay need a new form of "messiah" to keep the proletariat in order.
hence: "well, the "AI" said to do this and the "AI' knows everything, so....on your knees, proles!"
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
