I really don't think so. This is 15 years of factory/infrastructure experience here. You are going to need a human to turn a screwdriver somewhere.

I don't think we need to worry about this scenario. Our hypothetical AI can just hire people. It isn't like there would be a shortage of people who have basic assembly skills and would not have a moral problem building what is clearly a killbot. People work for Amazon, Walmart, Boeing, Nestle, Haliburton, Atena, Goldman Sachs, Faceboot, Comcast, etc. And heck even after it is clear what they did it isnt like they are going to feel bad about it. They will just say they needed a job to pay the bills. We can all have an argument about professional integrity in a bunker as drones carrying prions rain down on us.
