> When the researchers come in on Monday, the AI has become tens of thousands of times funnier than any human being who ever lived. It greets them with a joke, and they die laughing. In fact, anyone who tries to communicate with the robot dies laughing, just like in the Monty Python skit. The human species laughs itself into extinction.

I've given this topic a fair bit of thought as well and this is a legitimate use case. Laughing is the obvious one, but I recently ran down the rabbit hole on "Modal Logics" from Kripke, and I think his work is formal enough that it can effectively arm a model with the ability to generate ideologies, formed in language that is refined to create a fully entraining state.

There are only survivors in zombie movies, the real situation created by an AI formulating human ideologies would be much, much worse.
