Until recently, I considered this question irrelevant and even ridiculous. All of AI’s knowledge is derived from “us”.

Its key ingredients would have been these: arrogance & ignorance; human stupidity, including The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity (1976) by Italian economic historian Carlo M. Cipolla; The Peter principle and...
My recent blog, Fear and the 7 Belief systems, mentioned the Dunning - Kruger effect; see the yellow marking in my diagram. This "cognitive bias" is related to my blog topics of arrogance & ignorance, as well as (human) stupidity.
