I don't think it's certain the AI kills everyone, but it's not certainly impossible either. It depends on how the AI works and what it "wants" for some value of "wants". Humans have not been particularly kind to the species less intelligent than us. Why would we anticipate being well treated by an entity more intelligent than us? Even if we're not that relevant to a super intelligence, creating one forfeits human control over the Earth and known universe to the machines. Right now, in a century or two or three or whatever - we might be building Dyson Spheres and colonizing the galaxy. In an alternate and plausible timeline the machines are doing that and we are not.
