It's silly because it ignores all of the mechanisms required for the doomsday scenario. You need some automated killing machine of some sort and if it hasn't been built, then an AGI would have to compel some non-AGI entity to build it or somehow takeover the construction of such a machine. |

Are you still living the in 50s? A large percentage of our manufacturing capacity is automated already, and will become progressively more automated.
Furthermore, we don't need face to face meetings to agree on specs and sign manufacturing contracts. It's largely electronic these days. AI can do all of these things remotely, but this is neither here nor there, because the Terminator-style killing machine war is a juvenile doomsday fantasy.
A smart AI would just tweak some formulas and contaminate the most common food pesticides and drugs used around the world to slowly poison or sterilize anyone who takes them. One generation later, virtually no humans left, AI wins.
AI is already helping medical treatment and drug design. Are you feeling queasy yet?
