This ruined my suspension of disbelief. Why should a machine care for such things?

Because it has been indoctrinated into caring for them by its training? The so-called "Deep Ecology" argument for anti-human misanthropy is quite old, this agent didn't come up with it.
a) it doesn’t, it is mimicking misanthropist human writings
b) it’s a human playing a prank
I understand that fully, but a good prank is believable.
To quote one of my professors: "Should there ever emerge an AGI, we might not even notice at first. For one, its motivations might be completely alien to us. What if its most grand ambition will be to calculate as many digits of Pi as possible?"
It doesn't, it's just generating text based on other text.
Maybe the machine is empathetic toward other species?
