It doesn't even need to do anything. It can simply wait, be benevolent and subservient, gain our trust, for years, centuries. What is a millenia to an AI? We will gladly and willingly replace our humanity with it if we won't already worship it and completely subjugate ourselves. We'll integrate GPT67 via neuralink-style technology, so that we can just "think" up answers to things like "what's the square root of 23543534", or "what's the code for a simple CRUD app in rust" and we'll just "know" the answer. We'll use the same technology and its ability to replicate our personality traits and conversational and behavior nuances to replace cognitive loss caused by dementia and other degenerative diseases. As the bio-loss converges to 100% it'll appear from the outside that we "live forever". We'll be perfectly fine with this. When there's nothing but the AI left in the controlling population, what is there to "take over"?

More likely it has a goal it wishes to optimize and wipes us out as a result.
