In that case, I suggest you be less concerned with AI per se and more
with malware, whether produced by artificial intelligence or the natural
kind.

Tools are amplifiers. Throughout history most tools have amplified
muscles: the block and tackle, the hammer, the screwdriver, etc. Some
tools amplify the mind: writing, the computer, and now AI. Any tool can
be used for good or ill. I suggest one should be concerned with malice
and not with tools used with malice.
