Have you not met humans that do that, too? When it was found that smoking causes cancer, many, many people kept doing it. Then the government taxed the crap out of it, and some people still do it. It's easy to say that people have other motivations, but doesn't the AI, too? You tell it not to do X, but you've also told it to do something that would benefit from X. It's going to "want" to still do X, to support that other thing. It's also got all the "knowledge" that enables it to do the work in the first place, and all of the tendencies of the people who do that work, because that's what it's trained on. It's really easy to anthropomorphize AI because it was literally modeled after people. And for the record, as lead developer, I've had actual humans that reported me to go ahead and do things I specifically told them not to.
