What is most ironic about AI is that since it has to be done by programmers, who are never experts in the field they are programming the AI for, AI will always be less than mediocre.

Ike may not have anticipated precise detail about the adversities that are emerging here and now.
As Supreme Allied Commander in WWII, and then as POTUS, Eisenhower warned:
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery

At least until AI is advanced enough that it starts programming itself
That can never happen because computers have no sense of value, abstraction, cause and effect, physical properties, motivation, etc.
Its all just human programming.
Which is the actual danger really.
Something like Skynet disaster can happen if we enable AI beyond what we have installed overrides and protections for.
