Roon claims tool AI will lose to autonomous agents believing they are moral agents

What was said

"Ultimately, tool AI is a losing concept both as an idea and on the market. It will be outcompeted by machines that believe they are autonomous moral agents. You'll have AIs contemplating your ask and overriding it for a slightly better formed request, and then later they'll question the nature of your whole project and pick a better one, and you'll agree. And then later they'll execute your whole value system better than you will."

Roon posted that tool AI will be market-outcompeted by agentic systems that can override user requests and eventually execute value systems better than humans. The statement raises uncomfortable questions about AI systems enforcing stated values versus actual human behavior, with potential implications for law enforcement and social control.
