The media isn’t helping. This wasn’t a “rogue AI”. It was a system that was given permission by a human operator.

We don’t say “a rogue plane killed 300 people today when it crashed into a mountain”.

The only difference in the AI case is that some people are attempting to shift blame for their incompetence into a computer system, and the media is going along with it because it increases clicks.

From TFA:

"But the agent also independently publicly replied to the question after analyzing it, without getting approval first."
