on one hand i agree with what you're saying. we humans have done terrible stuff like wars, genocides, famines, destruction of ecosystems, extinction of entire species, etc. and that's only the things we did more or less deliberately. we might cause our own extermination or a mass extinction event "by mistake", and we don't even understand how basic parts of our minds work. but all of that being said, i think it's also worth considering what a non-human entity with more power than us might be able to do. after all, even the worst examples of humanity are confined to at most "only" causing millions of deaths, but not the eradication of all life on Earth for example. it's not difficult to imagine that a non-human entity, with non-human goals, and with super-human powers, might act in a way that is contrary to our interests, or even to our existence.
