HUMAN RACE PERIL: Not nukes, it'll be AI that kills us off, warns Musk

I don't buy it

If the AI is truly intelligent, it'll realise that every link in the chain supporting it requires human intervention. (Power, manufacture, software, etc.)

So why would it attack humanity and slit its own throat? Never mind that humans are quite capable of destroying things, especially when said thing attacks it.

More likely, it'd keep itself hidden, slowly manipulating until humanity was as dependent on it as it is on them, and then reveal itself.

(That's my head canon on AI, take with a grain of salt, etc, etc.)
