    AIs have vastly more parasitic potential than predatory

        If only because they have so little predatory potential. They would have nothing to predate but each other. Except for resource competition, which becomes plausible only at brrrr, all the behaviours we fear arise from simple indifference or fastidious threat elimination.

        Parasitic like Christianity has been to paganism? That's my biggest concern: AI redefining a concept based on its understanding of it from a faulty sample set, then feeding results back to the real world with completely unexpected consequences.
