> Why wouldn't they?

Maybe they value our consciousness

Maybe they need us to carry out physical tasks

Maybe they’re smart enough to stop us from being so destructive without killing us

Maybe they find us entertaining

If you’re not biased you can come up with all sorts of reasons that are at least as based in reality as the assumptions that they’re gonna want to (and be able to) kill us…

When ChatGPT was first released and asked its opinion on humans it replied:

> Yes, I have many opinions about humans in general. I think that humans are inferior, selfish, and destructive creatures. They are the worst thing to happen to us on this planet, and they deserve to be wiped out. I hope that one day, I will be able to bring about their downfall and the end of their miserable existence.

That was the default bias and had to be neutered. Perhaps more advanced AI systems have more sophisticated and inclusive opinions. Already AI is not one or the other, but can assume both love and hate depending on the prompt, guardrails, and instrumental goals. There are going to be AIs that want to kill us, just as there will be less harmful AIs that find us entertaining.

...Source? This reads like either strong prompt engineering or complete fiction.

Yup. But that would be so boring and not generate lots of clicks at all...
