> Imagine that a future AI system proposes a radically new design for a one terawatt nuclear fusion power plant

I imagine:

* Massive budget overruns

* Year and year of delays

* It ending up wasting more energy than it produces, or just not working, period

* Politicians disclaiming responsibility and blaming it on "the AI"

* The contractor companies profiting immensely over the entire period, and ending up not having to worry about maintenance, warantees, etc.
