OpenAI's offices were sent thousands of paper clips in an elaborate prank to warn about an AI apocalypse::The prank was a reference to the "paper clip maximizer" scenario โ€“ the idea that AI could destroy humanity if it were told to build as many paper clips as possible.

It's difficult to draw a clear line between a simple neural network and a human brain when it comes to "intelligence". The rouge, paperclip-making "AI" seems be far closer to an intelligence, while flying autos or text prediction seems closer to mere hand-written code.
