The massive flaw in your argument is your failure to define "we".

Replace the word "we" with "a psychotic group of terrorists" in your post and see how it reads.

If you’re talking about some group of evildoers that deploy ai in a critical system to do evil… the issue is why do they have control to the critical system? Surely they could jump straight to their evil plot with the ai at all

Your question is equivalent to "if you have access to the chessboard anyway, why use Stockfish, just play the moves yourself."

Or "board of directors beholden to share-holders".
