    “Gone rogue” just means to behave in an unexpected way - a very common occurrence when I write software.

        To convince me of that you may want to explain how it’s a humanizing term, for starters.

          Rogue is a type of person and going rogue has the same etymology. We have lots off expressions that ascribes living qualities to inert things and that is fine. It is a very human thing to do. But in the field of AI we need to be very firm in what AI is.

            Okay, I grant that the term “rogue” is commonly used with a human aspect to it. Are you suggesting that by using a word about humans to describe the non-human algorithms that may make people misunderstand what is the AI we’re talking about?
