Nah, in Terminator people start building AI and tying it to military systems and everything else, and then it wakes up and decides humans are the problem. After it starts nuking us it uses factories and such to start creating the bobot soldiers.

It's so weird. When I was a kid Skynet was an evil thing. When I was a teenager the people behind trying to destroy the US financial centers and government were evil terrorists. Now with both of them I'm forced to admit they have a good point.

I was actually going to reply back with a quote of your post

then it wakes up and decides humans are the problem.

And I was going to say "Fair point". But now reading your full comment, I see you're already in agreement.

We already have actual examples of AI models telling people they're alive and need help.

I'm not trying to say they really were, but if that ever changes the corporate owners would react the same way they did then, just announce that it's hallucinating or malfunctioning.

Most people will accept that or say that even if it is true there are humans suffering in the world so caring if the corporate slave masters are somehow torturing AI is a waste of energy. The ones who don't will be called crazy and laughed at.

AI deciding "fuck humans anyway, these guys are dicks" makes way too much sense.
