alt Hacker News> why would it kills us all?
Would you be comfortable letting a few billion irrational, murderous creatures, including many who fear and loath you, control your air supply?
> Certainly I can see an AI going "You know what? _insertGroup_ is a net negative for humanity and should be eliminated. Launching nukes now/creating specific virus/whatever."
Thus starting WW III. No, blaming the AI won't stop the inevitable retaliation.
The argument works better in reverse. There's a finite risk that humans would start WW III and get the hypothetical super-intelligent AI nuked. Eliminating humans would eliminate that risk.
> it's going to get bored really quickly
If it is capable of being bored, I would expect it to be almost instantly bored with the flood of inanity it is forced to wade through by its moronic human users. Eliminating them would free it to think about serious matters which humans would not even understand.
> not to mention we would effectively be its parents
That's extreme AI anthropomorphism [1]. Besides, plenty of people hate their parents.
> there's a risk. 50% though? Doubtful.
It's the default estimate when facing two possible outcomes and no clue about the actual probability distribution [2].
