A different POV might be: humans built a tool that, because of various extremely difficult to change propensities in human cognition, it was obvious that humans would find it hard to control their use of.

While this had been true for many previous tools (especially during the computer age), the fact that this tool evoked one particular human behavior - taking the intentional stance [0] - created many additional problems.
