That's a subtle trojan exploiting our everyday's geek's deepest
vulnerability:

  "Morals are messy and human: ergo they don't exist. So Tom,
   implement that weaponized AI as I told you already"

This vulnerability (and this kind of exploit) is much older than
the term AI (which is already old, measured in bubbleconomy years).
