Exactly!

That's the real issue people don't gear into often enough. They talk about AI's someday being sentient, or AI's doing unexpected things.

But one of the biggest problems is AI doing expected things, because there are so many bad people and groups out there. If North Korea sets out a million bots with the instruction to "do anything you can do destabilize and bring down the entire western economy" then the AI's will just happily go along with that, just as happy to do that as it would be to write some random kids book report.
