I think at this point it is like rage-baiting. “AI wiped out my database”, “AI leaked my credentials”, “AI spent 2 million dollars on AWS” etc create interaction for these people.

The message reads like "AI did this bad thing" but we should all see it as "Another stupid person believed the AI hype and discovered it isn't trustworth" or whatever. You usually don't see them admit "gee that was dumb. What was I thinking?"
Because that would mean they were wrong and their faith was misplaced. Faith is a good word to use in this case, because people like this are AI evangelists, going beyond selling it as "it is good because objective reasons 1, 2 and 3", into "this will revolutionize the world and how you think". They will overhype it and make excuses or talk around its flaws. Some of them are true believers, but I'm convinced most are just trying to sell a product or themselves.
