We humans are often pretty bad, as agent Smith put 'we are a disease, a virus' if you have purely rational view without any emotions (including being human too and making it personal for example).

If you look at the news, horrible trumps positive big time, any day. It may not reflect actual truth on the ground, but AGI scanning internet knows nothing about reality on the street and everything about trending topics and Fox news headlines.

I guarantee you you can't have an objective viewpoint on mankind from just watching internet go and the one you get will be more negative than reality.

With such conclusions, and capability to collapse our society in a millisecond (it doesn't have to be nukes, it can be subtle subversion of financial and societal system for example), you really want a completely unknown and un-understandable entity to judge all of us?

I would imagine AGI would be statistically intelligent though, to be aware that whatever news has is the most negative outliers.
