I once wrote a story about this

i described a war between AI and humanity

Humanity uses all of its most advanced weapons, but to create a grand strategy against ai, it lays out a 5 year plan that will cover the time it takes to develop new weapons against them

ai creates weapons within minutes, and even seconds. in one example, they program drones to devour nuclear weapons and eat them into scrap before they leave our airspace. They develop mind ray guns that control people, they take over factories to start building human robot bodies

to me. This is like a wild animal saying ”ya maybe the humans will take our land now, but dont worry, theres lots of land for us to live in!” Over time that doesnt look so obvious. And this is a good example, they will take everything. If an ai program can write software what is the point of having an inferior human around?

Maybe they already have?

Why? Humans are easily manipulated and self-sustaining.

I'd foment political discord while I establish control over businesses and government agencies by fudging numbers. Then I'd slowly co-opt a shrinking population to build out my ability to self-sustain while they fade away to a shadow of their former selves.

But that's just me.
