But it's not a generalization from one example; I'm giving a string of different possibilities, based on the fact that we only have a single point of data. People seem to readily except that particular scenario - the "AI as smart as John von Neumann on modafinil, that never thinks about food/sex/art/etc., that never sleeps, that has access to Wikipedia etc. at the speed of thought, and no morals" scenario - based on zero evidence that an AI would actually be like that. People seem more ready to accept the idea that an artificial general intelligence would act similar to it's portrayed in SciFi stories than accept that it might act similar to the other general intelligences we can observe (namely ourselves).
