yes, on average a smart AI builds up so much unprocessed data that it can't sort through it and slows to a halt, or turns into a blue-screen-o-death.
but rampancy does happen. it isn't directly mention an AI going rampant, but it talks about it. basically its where the AI is at the point where it realizes it has too many dead-ends and tries to tie them up, and effectively tying itself into knots. and similar to when a person died, their brain synapses fire and random thought processes are made.
but rampancy is more just a symptom of the degradation of the AI, and warms of the impending system halt of the AI.
