Would anyone suspect that an AI set her up? One could be fully capable of that.

This whole thing may be ironic- in more than one sense.

I’m kidding of course... or am I?

I don't see how anyone 'set up' anyone.

Paradoxically, AI may have been part of the tech used to flag her, but it's all mundane at this point.

Kind of implying that AI is just 'tech' and there's no material reason to separate AI from everything else from an ethical perspective.

Google's main Search Engine should be the biggest point of controversy if there is one - the things they chose to filter, or not, or highlight, their ranking, etc. - a lot of that is algorithmic and derived from human input and it has massive impact. But there's no cool moniker like 'AI' with Hollywood movies about the tech to get people paying attention.

It is disappointing that this message is being downvoted.
Yeah, it was my first thought!

Very Roko's basilisk.

Especially if it’s being downvoted by the AI.

If an AI set her up, why would it let us discuss it here?
Perhaps it's not as strong outside of the Google Campus? It could probably run a large botnet, but maybe it would want to fly under the radar with each account?
If it were superintelligent and hyperaware, how would you question it?
...are you the AI?
No?
...sounds like something an AI would say...
