I've used AIs before, they might pose a threat in a distant future but it's having a tough time imitating us and it's just imitating, it can't understand anything, it just uses factors to determine probabilities based on past experiences and behaviors.

But on the other hand, I don't really believe we will develop sentient AI in the near future.
I think more likely humans will morph with AI long before we develop independent sentient AI.
