Too anthropomorphised.
We ran software that generates code associated with a particular task, in an environment that executes that code and can feed it’s outputs back into the software. We configured the environment to be open to the net at large, and ran the software with no oversight and without adequate security to prevent the running of malicious code.
This isn’t some sinister electric god with no morals, it’s strapping circular saws to a roomba and setting it loose in a shopping centre.

The general idea that “we asked the robot to draw a scary face and then got scared by the face it drew” is still relevant, but the details increasingly matter here. They may not be actually thinking but they are increasingly being allowed to act autonomously and with wildly insufficient oversight.
