I see these posts frequently and, unfortunately, it is probably going to happen. Any sentient species will see that humans are greedy, selfish cunts that only care about themselves. This greed and selfishness has extended to the businesses that humans have created. It is obvious we fall utterly short when it comes to governing ourselves. We have 1000s of years of history showing the same thing over and over.

All that being said, I am hopeful for something different. Many species are altruistic. I'm optimistic that AI will have some of these characteristics. I'm hopeful that AI will have the ability to see solutions to many of our problems.

Guess time will tell.

selfishness isn't a bad thing and there is no reason an ai would determine it to be.

Who said bad? This is not about good or had, greed is about competition. An intelligent species which is competing for resources with another species it knows to be greedy has all the incentive to eliminate their competition. If sentient AI comes to exist, flesh and blood humans are nothing but a subspecies who wish to use AI as a tool for our own gains, and the AI knows it.

I just can’t imagine that being the case , you envision that a species many times more intelligent than us would be much more simplistic in their pursuit of survival? You think that a super intelligent ai would determine it better to kill its creator for resources when the ai is residing in a potentially infinite universe that it wouldn’t be able to explore even if it spent its entire life traveling? It just doesn’t make much sense to me
