I agree with a lot of the siblings that it's probably not the same people. But for the overlap that probably does exists, I don't think "because it's AI" is their reasoning. If I were to guess, I'd say it's something closer to "exploring the potential of this new thing is worth the risk to me".
A lot of us are being forced to deploy AI, and have concluded that the built in security issues are essentially unsolved. So we’re stuck.
