They (alone) are not good for guaranteed avoiding of mistakes (as is achieved by theorems), or for guaranteed permanent execution by their software, hardware, power supply and circumstances of natural forces.
They (alone) are not enough for GAI also because many applications need some interface between the machine-learning methods and the domain-specific requirements.
They are inapplicable to what is proven to be, or their application can be unpredictable in some sense for what is proven to be non-deterministic.
They can pretend to simulate but cannot replace religion, meta-physics, ethics, emotions. However, it may be an open debate whether they can assume self-consciousness some time.
If we give them too much power (incl. self-regulated access to physical ressources), they can render extinct mankind.
