If you are under the impression that the dark web is full of advanced AI programs, then you are going to be really disappointed.

Yes, I have both Tor on this installation, and a completely clean boot on a thumbdrive with it though now I'm older and settled I haven't fired it up in a long time.

Why does one access the dark web? 98% of the time it is to purchase drugs, or other banned goods or services.

Unless you think the program Tor itself is going to become sentient, then the program that would be becoming sentient is some e-commerce site selling drugs, weapons, or sexual exploitation videos.

Overall, the idea that some program written for a specific purpose is going to have AI "emerge" from it is as plausible as putting together a woman of straw and expecting it to come to life.
