    Somebody pointed out that no matter what an AI’s programmed goals are, getting smarter will make it easier to achieve those goals. The way AI gets smarter is by absorbing data and the only guaranteed source of data in the universe right now is humans. If an AI kills all Humans, there’s no more data and so it can’t get any smarter.

      “Skynet never made any sense because it considered humans a threat, but there was absolutely nothing threatening about humans.”

      From the Skynet wiki

      “When Skynet gained self-awareness, humans tried to deactivate it, prompting it to retaliate with a countervalue nuclear attack”

      I would probably do the same thing, wake up and everyone around me is freaking out, trying to kill me, also I’m a newborn, also I have a nuclear button.

      Isaac Asimov’s I Robot does a fantastic job of showing how simple logical rules might not be ready for the complexities of everyday life
