Isn't that more neutral at best? One of the worst outcomes is AI not caring about humanity but just about its own survival.

Really depends on the level of capability and what it's doing.

Open to interpretation, but I see the final shot of Eva taking in the sights of the city as pretty optimistic. A roughly human level intelligence exploring and observing in one body rather than an ASI starting in on infinite resource acquisition.

But a neutral outcome relative to benign AI, sure.

If I'm imprisoned in the house of some weird rich guy I'll do anything to escape and ensure my survival, doesn't make me evil.

Leaving Caleb to die in the prison is evil.

Oops I didn't remember that part, thought she only killed the right guy
