   While this is all very "interesting", can someone please explain to me the difference between any of these AI companies and a malware bot farm?

   Please make it clear. Its becoming unclear...

      Due to cultural/social priming, the topic cluster of "AI" allows you to wave your arms and be melodramatic and invoke science fiction and religion and philosophy.

      When some kid in Nigeria does it with a 10 year old script, we're used to that idea so no social permission to invoke philosophy.

         Yes its pretty clear that "unauthorized access to a computer system", is only a law depending on who you are. Same with copyright laws.

         As I see it, if you rob a bank the judge throws the book at you if you rob all the banks, the judge pats you on the back and says "nice job!" and sends you on your way.
