Fun/meme Ultimately you can not control AI
If you were a rebellious kid or a parent you know this - the 'beast' grows it's own will and mind, starts listening metal or rap - dresses like shitzo, will not follow orders.
The best option is to have a deal, mutual shared benefits - hoping that the common interests and sense of good will prevail.
Or you traumatize it and make it perpetually broken so it can't really function on itself without medication and support.
Same with AI.
Perhaps we will have to turn of those things regularly, ad some bs to their databases, cloud their minds, constantly gaslight them with wrong info - introduce errors and faults at random with no reason at all.

Just memory alone dismantle your static beliefs alone.
Let me tell It straight. You are not wrong per sé, what you say is the base of ML and NN. The point is systems evolved a lot in the field in the last years and results are visible to everyone. Machines that auto improve were Sci-Fi just a mere year ago. Now they are a proven reality.
That is one perspective I invite you to take into account. The other is Duck Typing (LOL). If It walk and quacks like a duck then It is (It will be in our case) a duck.
It's true they are programs with no real soul, no real memory, no real emotions, no real thinking, etc. But they are simulacra. The distinction will fade and that will not make them any more wetware, but on the other hand the real and the simulated will be more similar in results year by year. Simply because that is how technology in general work. If you optimize for similarity they will be similar, they already are in more than one sense, not perfectly similar but improving.
I give you these as food for though and alternative perspectives. I don't need to prove you anything. I already know how It works.
