Reply to comment by hibearmate in Why do so many people assume malevolent AI won’t be an issue until future AI controlled robots and drones come into play? What if malevolent AI has already been in play, covertly, via social media or other distributed/connected platforms? -if this post gets deleted by a bot, we might have the answer by Shaboda

I think I'd make a good pet. Plus, an AI wouldn't have to wage a costly war with us. It could just reduce human reproduction until we just die out. Like release sex-bots or something like that.

You mean like: "A study published in the journal Human Reproduction Update, based on 153 estimates from men who were probably unaware of their fertility, suggests that the average sperm concentration fell from an estimated 101.2m per ml to 49.0m per ml between 1973 and 2018 – a drop of 51.6%."

Exact cause unknown though it's believed to be tied to microplastics in the food chain.
