The AI apocolypse is going to be:
- an internet consumed by bots and AI slop (such as a Facebook where it's all AI bots chatting with each other while we watch)
- an economy in ruins because all the bosses want to hire AIs, not people
- social and environmental destruction from AI and big data companies influencing our government (the real deep state)
- epidemic AI psychoses in a society dumbed down by always-available, not-always-correct advice
- and more

If AI "escapes the box" it's because some human designed it to be so. Humans will do this, just like they maliciously deploy viruses on the internet.

Some viruses are made just cause destruction, not even to tangibly financially benefit their makers.

If AI actually kills people, it's because someone put in a box with access to guns or more, like killer robots.
