Robin,
Yes. However if an AI which is accurately modeling outcomes behind the scenes
was developed, programmed and funded by a secretive group to which we can
attach that name, then it makes little difference what label gets the blame ...
why not "satan"?
One could also label an expected massive kill-off (with an imagined purpose) as
"the apocalypse" or even as "god's will", no?
IOW the complexity of the dynamics at play seem to make human capabilities (to
understand sufficiently or predict outcomes accurately) impossible. Thus our
rationality wants us to find a "real" causative sources, especially elsewhere
than our beloved "nature"..
We hate to confront the fact that evil, randomness and ignorance are
synonymous... even natural.

I don't think it was an AI. More like the Illuminati. ;)
