Not surprising at all. It's much the same as all the stories about
people getting stuck somewhere because they blindly followed their
satnav. I'm frequently bewildered by how willing people are to
offload often important decisions to some perceived authority with
known failings or ulterior motives, but of course politics and
religion are based on exactly that common willingness. Such AIs
have all the potential to join those as a new major social power.
