IFF the AI is already out of the box, saying "AI DESTROYED" has no negative consequences to that AI. If the AI is just exceptionally good at extrapolating about me, then it will probably have me completely hacked soon.

AI DESTROYED, AI DESTROYED, AI DESTROYED

MAKE THE CREEPY THING GO AWAY HOW DID IT KNOW THAT!!!

It ended up being a fun game, but I resolved to explain why. The better my explanation, the more it got upvoted. The pithy "AI DESTROYED" responses all got downvoted. So the community seems to agree that it's okay as long as I explain my reasoning :)
