That's not a problem of the technology though, that's human idiocy.

On the one hand, absolutely, human idiocy.

On the other hand, as a society it behooves us to think about how to stop idiots from hurting themselves and others. With IT, and in the context of corpo marketing hype, I am deeply concerned about politicians using AI or allowing AI to be used to do things poorly and thus hurt people simply because they have too much faith in the tool or its salesmen. Like, for example, rewriting the Social Security database.
