This is actually more terrifying than you might have intended.
I've long thought that the greatest danger AI poses is going to be the "man behind the curtain" effect. If people can blame everything on AI then AI can be a blanket covering deliberate harm.
Imagine if government starts using AI for decision making. You could easily end up with a "man behind the curtain" who's actually calling all the shots and just pretending it's the AI doing it. Then you'd effectively have a dictatorship where nobody knows/believes they're in a dictatorship.
Yep AI will definitely be used as stamp of approval for bad decisions. Just give it input and questions in different ways until you get the answer you want, and you can say, hey the fancy AI advised it!
