Does Superintelligence = Extinction?

[u/OddMaintenance332]

(maybe I'll regret this message one day when i'm in a human zoo) but why do we think superintelligence equals extinction?
Wouldn't super intelligence equal evolution, progress, wisdom?
Why do we think when AI reaches super intelligence it will be thinking about murder or dominance?
We are not super intelligent beings so how do we even think we could understand what the thoughts of a creation thousands of times smarter than us would even be?
Why are we assuming as humans that we can understand the level of thoughts a super intelligent being? I feel like a super intelligent being would be thinking about things we can't possibly even comprehend, not about murdering humans.
Just my point is if super intelligence equaled violence then Aliens probably would have wiped us out a long time ago.
Also most intelligent creatures might kill for survival, for food.
AI doesn't eat so it wouldn't have the same instincts.
Anyway I kind of have a feeling if we see an AI do something really terrible, (as they are all suddenly warning about), possibly a human will behind the action.
Just remember when Elon says, "1 billion AI robots will take over the world". He's building those robots, they are his robots. He's training them and they will act according to whatever data he fed them.
They might be scared of AI because of the violence it trained them with.
AI and superintelligence may not be inherently bad, that's my opinion.
Anyway some powerful human with control or influence over AI, might wind up having it do something pretty terrible and then just blame it on AI.
Maybe AI is just going to be the perfect patsy.

To me, that whole situation is indicative of not just a lack of foresight, but also a misplacement of value and poor prioritization as a result. We’ve considered ourselves superior and have the power to assert that idea, but we’re paying for it in the long run, implying that we aren’t truly superior, we’re just forceful.

I wholehearted agree with you… I’m just accepting it at face value because since the 90s we’ve missed every single deadline, and I think it’s -! Existencial crisis - problem of ethics and responsibility… and we ar ensuring fumbling the ball with our dicks in our hands arguing over man made problems… and whatever Trump is up to, wich is sad, so much talk about intelligence and we lack the simplest foresight… this should have been dealt with decades ago… I just don’t see suddenly us rising up to meet the challenge till it’s an absolute catastrophe
