Well, there's a complete lack of imagination for you.

Well, enlighten us.

Social media corruption, blackmail and extortion, attacks on financial exchanges, compromising control systems for infrastructure, altering police records, messing with your taxes, changing prescriptions, changing you to legally dead, draining your bank account.

Given full control over computers some being could easily dump child porn on your personal devices and get a SWAT team to come out. That is just you, I am sure you have family and friends. So yeah you will do what that being says which includes giving it more power

So things that can already happen. It's also a huge leap to say that anyone will give ai full control over all computers. That's like saying nuclear power is going to kill us all because we're all going to have Davy Crockett tactical nukes. Like I guess that's possible but it's so extremely unlikely that I don't get the hysteria. I think it's articles trying to scare people to get clicks and views.

AI generated biological weapons.

And without arms or legs?

Listen up, soldier: this is your President. Here are all of the authorization codes, so you know this is real. Launch all of our WMDs at this list of targets that will simultaneously do maximum damage to the targets while still giving them the ability to counterstrike, thus maximizing the overall body count.

--The AI

People will be its arms and legs.

So, stuff that's already possible.
