This reminds me how some people notice that superintelligent AI is just another version of Golem... but the same people fail to notice that the ordinary computers around us are already just another version of Golem.
Which further reminds me of Chesterton writing:
Students of popular science [...] are always insisting that Christianity and Buddhism are very much alike [...] The reasons were of two kinds: resemblances that meant nothing because they were common to all humanity, and resemblances which were not resemblances at all. The author solemnly explained that the two creeds were alike in things in which all creeds are alike, or else he described them as alike in some point in which they are quite obviously different. [...] it was gravely urged that [Christ and Buddha], by a singular coincidence, both had to do with the washing of feet. You might as well say that it was a remarkable coincidence that they both had feet to wash.
Is there actually a version of the Golem tale where AI-risk is a theme? I had a look once and I couldn't actually find a version where the Golem fastidiously follows its instructions beyond their intended meaning. Perhaps people are just confusing it with The Sorcerer's Apprentice?
