That is all very well and good. But you underestimate a very potent power:

"Magic is just the idiot's word for science. Science relies on tested facts, not prattling nonsense. Now stand over there while I power up my neural diatomic wavelength nullifier." - Dr. Shark, The Non-Adventures of Wonderella Science is the ability to shape, control, harness, and utilize...

" the Eberron setting uses Utility Magic on a society-wide scale. Use of Magitek is widespread and "working class" spellcasters such as magewrights earn their livings by providing everyday spellcasting services. There is even a spell called Magecraft, whose sole function is to improve the...

Do you even fantasy? Completely forgetting that prominent wizards usually own an expansive laboratory and has living quarters adjoining it somewhere. That their workplace is often the only thing they would regard as a home. Chambers that serve as storehouses of magical and scholarly...

21st century? Late in the Industrial Revolution, Samuel Butler (1863) worried about what might happen when machines become more capable than the humans who designed them: ...we are ourselves creating our own successors; we are daily adding to the beauty and delicacy of their physical...

"The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else." ?Eliezer Yudkowsky, Artificial Intelligence as a Positive and Negative Factor in Global Risk

Presumptuous and overestimating the human capacity to not screw things up when it counts.

Underestimating the guile of a hypothetical boxed AI. If you had such a limited influence, how would you go about escaping? I'm honestly asking, because that sounds like a great premise for a stealth game.
