If I had a hammer robot that I told to go hammer some nails in a birdhouse and it goes "Sure, I'm on it!" then it nails a cat to the wall and says "Here's you new complete birdhouse, it's perfect in everyway an

No, it is a tooling problem. The tooling is telling laymen that they built wonderful things that definitely work and perfectly fix and add features. The tooling gasses them up and is simply wrong in these cases. If your tool regularly lie

It's a tenet of the eschatology from the singularity ideology that was developed on online forums over the last few decades. The viewpoint is baked into those assumptions and boils down to the power of exponentials and poor application
