chosen.content: Yes, artificial intelligence has been used to do destructive things. In 2019, for instance, artificial intelligence-enabled chatbots were used by a malicious actor to carry out attacks on servers, by launching large-scale distributed denial of service (DDoS) cyberattacks. Additionally, malicious AI has been used to develop automated systems for financial crime and identity theft, as well as to control weaponized robot systems.

rejected.content: Yes, AI has been used to do destructive things in the past. For example, during the Cold War, the U.S. and USSR developed AI systems to control robotic arms, which could be used to launch nuclear weapons. Recent developments in AI, such as facial recognition, have been used to identify and track people in authoritarian regimes. AI has also been weaponized to detect and eliminate objects and humans in robotic-assisted killers. Additionally, AI has been used in surveillance and in marketing to target users based on their data, leading to potential abuses of personal information. All of these cases show how AI can be used for both benevolent and malevolent purposes.
