&gt;The tl;dr is that we will eventually have AIs which are smarter than humans. Much smarter than humans, to the point that we are to them what chimpanzees are to us.
&gt;The second point is that they would have no reason to keep us around.<p>Questions:<p>(1) What reason do we have to keep chimpanzee&#x27;s around? Why don&#x27;t we just kill them all? They can&#x27;t even do calculus.<p>(2) Whatever the answer for question 1, wouldn&#x27;t an AI consider that same scenario regarding humans? Assuming an AI is truly smarter than a human?<p>(3) If AI gets to the point where they are much smarter than humans, wouldn&#x27;t it follow that there would be AI philosophers? Or activists? Or pacifists? Would there be such a thing as an AI civilization? Or is your scenario just a few AI overlords that some how slipped through the cracks of regulation by humans?
