In episode 15 and 16 of Season 2's Ah! My Goddess, Marller manages to separate Urd's evil half from her good half and transport it to an artificial body that looks exactly like Urd.Compare Springtime for Hitler, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?, Nice Job Breaking It, Hero or Hoist by His Own Petard. A Sub-Trope of Literal Genie, basically putting it in the scientific category as opposed to Be Careful What You Wish For, which is when what the character wanted falls in their lap through coincidence or magic rather than their own planning and hard work.

Most examples of AI Is a Crapshoot are this (and see also The Computer Is Your Friend). Usually this is paired with a Fantastic Aesop that ( heavily) implies the intended use or goal of the research is to blame.

The researchers may create and market an entire product line based on their Super Prototype that only later turns on them, or over-performs their duty like, say, a genetically engineered plant that has a high CO2 consumption out-competing every other plant on the planet and causing massive fires to keep feeding. Things that have Gone Horribly Right might not be immediately apparent. Alternatively, they could fully understand the purpose and consequences of the technology but it ends up in the wrong hands. Or the technology infringes on something man was not meant to know or create. The Potential Applications were so exclusively in the evil/destructive side that the project had no possible use but to destroy. Other times, they find out the result was something they shouldn't have attempted in the first place. The results are either a runaway chain reaction that threatens to destroy the facility/ Universe, a weapon that not only annihilates its target but has high (or total) collateral damage, or a Psycho Prototype that refuses to obey orders.or obeys them only too well.

Or maybe they just didn't fully consider the full consequences of what they wanted to do. Either it turns out to be too intense, too powerful, or too strong-willed to be controlled. Unfortunately, they've succeeded too well, and it's this success that dooms them. The results are everything they hoped for better, in fact. Rather than have something unexpected happen, the researchers have everything proceed in an orderly fashion, up to the point when the experiment is about to conclude and make the Super Prototype, harness the power of a supernova/black hole, or otherwise be put to use. You'd think the opposite of Gone Horribly Wrong would be a good thing. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
