It can't today, but if it's smart enough how do you know it wouldn't be able to in the future?

  > The question of whether machines can think is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim It's a program with a lot of data running on a big calculator. It won't ever be "smart."

    Sure, but is it so implausible that it could some day have the knowledge to perhaps exploit some security hole to run some code that does do things like disable things or exfiltrate data etc?

    I think you’ve entirely missed the point of that quote. Shutting them down for using the word “smart” (instead of something like “capable”) is like saying in 1900 submarines will never be able to swim across the Atlantic because they can’t swim. It’s really missing the point of the question: the submerged crossing.
