The title of this side bar section is often used as an inside joke among Paranoia (role-playing game) Paranoia RPG players.
There are several realities regarding computers:
* They’re everywhere
* They’re reasonably dependable
* Most of us have no idea how they work
* Our authority figures use them
* They’re cool
There is the concern that AIs could learn via Terminator and related that direct and immediate control is likely a bad idea and be far more methodical.
