What bugged me was the creation of the server centers. "start building a series of massive computer facilities around the world" The AI can be quick as a wink designing these things, but the supply chains for huge buildings takes a lot of time. Acquiring talent, training operators, construction crews, as well as location scouting, surveying, zone approval, geological testing, and various other tasks takes years. Sometimes a decade or more. And sometimes it all falls apart and you have to start somewhere new, because locals don't want you there. Politicians can be fickle bastards. Construction is a lot of people shaking hands and discussing things, phone calls, walking back and forth for supplies, waiting on permits, advice, et cetera, and you cannot AI that to be faster. The plans always have to be modified because reality intrudes, and buildings where the architect does not visit are poor ones. Worse, when the architect has no practical experience. Simple example in point: I was in a beautiful house where a hallway was juuust a bit too narrow. You could get a normal sized dresser and armoire down the hall, but couldn't quite turn objects of that size enough to get through two of the bedroom doors. A bed springbox was iffy. The builder quickly realized this(and made a quip about the owners buying IKEA flatpack furniture), but everything looked fine on the plans. Because of the rest of the layout, especially where municipal services entered the (already poured) foundation, the house could not be modified. A hand's width would have made all the difference. Worse, when the architect does not have a human body. Every building on earth has quirks like this. They have to be solved in-situ. Creating the plans is a tiny portion of the task, and not much of a time saving.
