AI by itself is neutral, ultimately just a tool, but its programmed by fallible people and many of those programmers are some evil people that promotes the same methodology for the AI.
As someone who has programmed for many decades I have to say AI is different. It mimics the neural networks that an actual brain forms. Of course the training can and is influenced by what information is fed to it and is guided by what desired outcomes are encouraged but it's not an exact science like traditional programming.
Some people think evil spirits can possess/influence AI just like they occasionally do to human brains. I'm still not sure about this part but can't completely rule it out at this point.
The public does not have access to A.I.
We have access to Local Language Models or "mostly highly trained and programmed chat bots.
They're not adaptable. They're wrong more often than you think.
The A.I. you see in robot bodies are the newborn babies of A.I.
