I think it would just be easier for the AI to kill the humans. What benefit can they serve?

Well imagine if it got everyone stuck in some sort of delayed gratification treadmill that lasted their whole lives without any benefit to them. Just endless suffering with a carefully crafted and personalized vision of future eternal bliss for the promise of obedience. The few remaining humans being kept around for biodiversity purposes being subject to this.
Honestly can't tell if you are describing a futuristic dystopia or current mass consumerism focused society :)
yikes, this could be a critique of consumer culture.
More like many religions.
