A person with a million loyal adherents is worrisome even if those adherents are only sitting on computers. For similar reasons, a person with a trillion unflinchingly loyal AI adherents is worrisome.

I mean end of the day, I care about eating well, raising my kids in peace, being useful to others: if an AI tries to convince me to act, it'd have to factor these constraints, in which case it's a useful fellow human able to understand my need and proposing an action for debate. Wars and disasters are usually pursued by minority groups in charge of means of violence, and manipulation is a way for them to trap you into letting a crack open long enough for them to invade it, but if we cant resist an AI, they deserve the Earth more than us :)
