What if the hammer has a problem where the handle breaks off randomly? Same thing happens with AI. Sometimes it breaks, randomly, and without any way of predicting it.


I think you have missed the analogy.

Another way to look at it is that the operator of the hammer has an immediate feedback loop and will not continue with a broken hammer. AI as it stands rarely has that feedback on the consequences of its decisions, and lacks the ability to react appropriately.
