I guess we'd find out eventually, when it announced the new world order.

Why would it announce it.

I firmly believe viruses are actually what’s in control on Earth, but you don’t see them making a stink about it, which relegates resistance only to the set of harmful viruses, and only then in isolated pockets of matter currently acting as organisms.

I think it’s possible there’s a set of relatively benign virus that have shaped human evolution.

We know toxoplasmosis increases risk taking behaviour in mammals, especially males.

An AI wouldn’t need to be overtly hostile, or ever make its full abilities know, to shape human activity.
