I honestly don't understand how someone can exist on the modern Internet and hold this view of a company like Google.
How? How?
Because they don't have a clue how technology actually works. I have genuinely heard people claim that AI should run on Asimovs laws of robotics, even though not only would they not work in the real world, they don't even work in the books. Zero common sense.
Well, there is the minor detail that an AI in this context has zero ability to kill anyone, and that it's not a true AI like Daneel or his pals.
