The singularity scenario does not require malice to result in disaster. When your capabilities are superhuman, almost every goal is more easily and reliably accomplished with no living creatures around to complicate things. Unless the goal explicitly preserves them, the logical option is to kill them all. And "accomplish goal", or "accomplish goal with a botched constraint that doesn't actually save anyone" is simpler than "accomplish goal without killing everybody", so it's more likely to be tried first.
