If we're talking about bad AI, shouldn't we ask
why it would want to kill us? Pretty much all of our human conflicts are over resources - land, water, energy, etc. Unlike us meatbags, an AI would not be confined to the thin layer of the troposphere - it could grow and harness energy and material pretty much anywhere - the Moon, Mars, Mercury, a Dyson sphere etc. My question is, why fight over
this particular rock, when there's essentially an infinite amount energy-matter out there?
The other thing is, it's hard to imagine something qualifying as AI without it understanding things like ethics, morals, humility, aesthetics etc. At our best, our species worries about preserving our natural world, extending our care to other species, etc. Can something supposedly smarter than us be completely lacking in principles which are at the core of our "smartness"?
