AI is a superfast artificial idiot with no understanding of what it's doing and no morals. Even if it wasn't used by slow human idiots who also have no understanding of what they're doing and no morals, it will be able to make millions of mistakes and fabrications per second.

Hopefully that chance is small, but it’s not zero. And so I think we want to take whatever actions we can think of to minimize the probability that AI goes wrong."
