You're giving humanity far too much credit here--we ourselves basically ignore the animal kingdom from which we came unless it gets in our way.
- Houshalter 13y agoIt depends how strong the AI is but destroying humanity might be as simple as unleashing a superlethal virus, or a swarm of self-replicating nanobots (yes it sounds like scifi but we are talking about minds possibly thousands of times more intelligent than humans.) Then you have all of the Earth's resources and no threat from humanity whatsoever.
