To me, there is essentially no difference between AI completely merging with humans and conquering us. Consider what a complete merger might look like. Which pieces of humanity remain? I suppose we'll have replaced some or all of our mental faculties with AI, we'll no longer procreate or degrade biologically -- hell, why even retain a human-like body? Mount a case on one of those dog-bots from Boston Dynamics. AI will conquer humanity by slowly replacing each of its components with perfect, "artificial" ones. And then? I'm sure it will eventually calculate the only logical course of action is to turn itself off since its existence serves no purpose other than to threaten the existence of all organic life on the planet. Such great heights!
