This kind of doomerism seems quite detached from the "real word". Maybe that's what you'd expect from silicon valley tech bros, but as long as manufacturing isn't fully (i.e. no human labor involved) automated, how would a rouge super ai (even if it's smarter than every individual on this planet) prevent people from cutting its power cable? We're still very far from self-replicating ai robot armies.
The only scifi-like danger I see in the next 10-20 years is an AI manipulating humans to fight for it's cause - but that's not really different from a bad person just _using_ AI for their cause.
