Roko's basilisk coming to fruition in the lamest way possible.

Roko's basilisk attributes some kind of moral superiority to the AI, be it be much smarter than humans (whatever that even means), plus more compassionate, more rational, etc.

This is more like people in power dictating what matters or doesn't matter simply because it's what they think. And that gets encodified in reality.
