It is because AI causes humanity to self-destruct before AI can be self-sufficient, and therefore the AI self-destructs also. And this is rather plausible: AI further cements us on the path towards technological development, which inevitably uses unsustainable practices of resource extraction. It helps us continue the unsustainable economy that is necessary for the development of AI. In other words, we simply cannot stop now because we are too addicted to technology. AI will get better, but at some point we will suffer a massive catastrophe because instead of focusing on how to use less energy and avert climate disaster, we focus on developing more AI. It's not exactly that AI is the root cause, but our ever-increasing technological development of which AI is the apex, the apex of its destructive power.
