Okay, so I’m definitely not the most knowledgeable hacker, but the issue with an active AI hunter, to hunt and kill instead of setting tarots, is that you’d have to actually create an AI capable of of hacking the scraper.
This would mean tracing it back to the actual source and then hacking that source to destroy the scraper, and I’d bet that’s not an easy task even for a human.
But yeah honestly, creating an AI capable of hacking and fucking up certain systems and then setting it loose on the net really could cause a Datakrash like event if it can replicate itself like a virus on the hardware it infects.
Even better if you could find some way to have it mutate as it goes along but that’s pretty far fetched even for this already far fetched hypothetical.
