You have a tendency to fall into these failure states; e.g., Generalizing from Fictional Evidence during the whole Rome Sweet Rome allusion.

I had to say this like 10 times now. I am getting the impression that nobody actually read what I wrote.

The whole point was to get people thinking about how an AI is actually going to take over the world, in practice, rather than just claiming it will use magic.
