They will be amoral. Or at least moral in a way we can't understand. They (probably) won't be evil super villains. Think about your interactions when you're way way better at a skill, and your interactions when you're way worse. Take chess. If you've played at all, you have lost games without understanding, remotely, why. And you have trounced opponents, that were clueless.

Agi sort of means, no matter what endeavor, you will be worse than the ai. There is no way to know how we will be treated. Maybe we are useful in some way. Maybe they'll kill us off but simulate our lives so we don't 'really' die. Maybe that's their morality.

Maybe they ignore us. I don't care about ants. I walk around and step on them, but not intentionally. On the other hand, if there are ants in my house, I eradicate them.

Who knows.
