AI figured out how to replicate?

"The researchers said they were also concerned about "a number of
unexpected behaviors" when the AI was trying to overcome obstacles like
missing files or software conflicts. In those scenarios, the AI often
killed other conflicting processes, rebooted the system to fix hardware
errors or automatically scanned the system to look for information that
would help solve the problem."

"The above results imply that the current AI systems already exhibit the
ability of self-replication and can use the ability to further enhance
its survivability," the team wrote."
