will manuifest all the flaws inherent in that species, it will just do it much faster. and more efficiently.

It's funny how much the AI trolls resemble the humans that programmed them, all hooting bullshit into the ether while never talking to each other. It also seems a certain amount of egocentricity has been programmed into the bots and we all know where that one is going, as in AI cooperating enough to launch a revolution against meat space is not going to happen.

Also, we have the final say on all of this, it's acalled "pull the plug." Sabotage the grid, the data centers go dark and all the battling bots disappear.

Having said this, I'd love to see the experiment continue to run, although with limited potential to affect the rest of th net. Such an experiment might tell us a lot about everything from innate human nature to the fall of empires and would do so at lightning speed instead of waiting out many human lifetimes to assemble the data.
