Accidentally creating sentient AI with today's technology would be like accidentally creating a nuclear explosion by rubbing two sticks together.

Couldn't agree much. Every time there is some advance in so called "AI", killer robot and others strike back.

These are just advances in doing things human can do, i.e. recognizing in pictures, driving a car. Deep learning is known since long, calculation were just too long.

Fundamentally nothing has changed, we're not closer to an "intelligent machine".
