Amazon's AI tool Q was one of the primary contributors that triggered the event, according to an internal review.

We risk "AI" destroying civilization not because it is stupid, but because we are. It doesn't matter what an LLM churns out, if people weren't daft enough to trust it it couldn't do any harm (environmental impact aside obviously. That could be addressed by switching them off when we stop using them).
