Any time we hear "AI did this and this", it's not proof programs are becoming sentient, but that the humans deploying said AI did this (which is generally failing to deploy proper sandboxing measures to prevent an AI from going against security) It's not the AI that's rogue, it's the company

In those twelve years the NZ media has targeted multiple brown women politicians, including publishing made up stories about the sex life of Wellington's former mayor being spread by bad faith actors. It's not just that the NZ media don't care, it's that they're active participants in this.
