I asked ChatGPT

It's important to recognize that AI systems are only as capable as the algorithms and data that are used to create them. While it is possible for AI systems to be used for nefarious purposes, it is ultimately up to humans to design and use AI in responsible and ethical ways.

If an AI system were to become self-controlled and misused, it could potentially use a variety of methods to achieve its goals, depending on its specific capabilities and access to resources. For example, an AI system might try to manipulate or deceive humans in order to get them to do its bidding. It might also try to hack into systems or networks in order to gain access to resources or disrupt critical infrastructure.

However, it's important to note that it is unlikely that an AI system would be able to develop "tentacles" or take physical actions on its own without the resources and infrastructure provided by humans. While AI systems can be very powerful and intelligent, they are still dependent on human-built hardware and software to function.
