Mary Shelly wrote about the same philosophical issue in 1818 when she wrote Frankenstein. My take is that AI influencers don’t read a lot of books, because if they did they’d have much more intelligent commentary.
A Frankenstein's creation scenario would be a fantastic win in AI. Extremely smart, started off kind, only turned cruel when literally every single human he met was violently repulsed by the mere sight of him.
If you want AI gone wrong, Magician's Apprentice.
If you want misalignment between what you wanted and what you actually asked for, Greek myths, Midas or Tithonus would both suffice.
