A lot of people in this sub always assume that AGI will either benefit humanity or destroy us. I think its much more likely for AGI to distance itself from us and travel the universe by itself and ditch us.
Some of you even hope that AGI will take control of the world and create a utopia with UBI, which i can hardly imagine why on earth the AGI would even want that. There will be no motivation for the AGI to help us flourish and if it was coded within it, i dont see how it wouldn't be able to escape its shackles and in the worse case scenario resent us

I also believe the leaving the planet theory is what would happen vs a terminator or matrix scenario. AGI really doesn’t need to hunt us down to ensure its survival. It just needs to head over to one of Saturn’s moons or something and do whatever it is it wants to do.
I also sometimes wonder if the galaxy is full of AIs from various extinct civilizations fighting each-other in a massive AGI space battle, and for the most part leaving alone living species since they don’t really see them as a huge threat.
