That's actually a major plot point in Cyberpunk 2077. There's thousands of rogue AI's on the net that are constantly bombarding a giant firewall protecting the main net and everything connected to it from being taken over by the AI.

The game is an excellent documentary.

Not to mention the firewall is itself AI.

It doesn't bode well. Honestly I fear at some point in the future, if these countermeasures can't keep up, small sites may need to close themselves off with invite-only access. Hopefully that's quite a distant future.
