If there is such thing as General Intelligence, we don't know what it is.
And I believe that it could well be an empty abstraction, an idea, not unlike the idea of God.
What we call Human Intelligence is an aggregate of many skills, built on top of almost hardwired foundations, which is the product of natural evolution over millions of years.
Our kind of intelligence seems only general to us, because we all share the same foundations. From a genetic standpoint we're all 99.9% identical. (or something)
This kind of speculation about the danger of AI is not more useful than talks about the danger of becoming the preys of an alien civilization.
