DependsCan A.I. “Go Rogue”?
What the article says. New Yorker published “Can A.I. “Go Rogue”?.” In the wake of turmoil at OpenAI and Anthropic, it’s become common to describe A.I. as a kind of person, hatching plans and pursuing desires. The truth is a little trickier. The desk grades the implied claim in that coverage — what the piece is trying to get readers to accept as settled.
Why this stamp.
- “Can A.I. “Go Rogue”?” may be true only under conditions the headline skips — timing, who you are, or what “counts” as proof.
- The claim rests on attribution, a soft verb, or an unfinished process rather than a closed fact on the record.
- A fair desk leaves it Depends until the missing condition or second check lands.
