Have you considered that an artificial intelligence might look at the problems facing this planet and decide that human beings are the cause of most of them? What if the intelligence decides to exacerbate environmental conditions to rectify the problem by reducing the population?

If this intelligence is so great why would it allow human beings to make digital versions of themselves when people have already caused so many issues in the physical world?

What if it deduced that we'd bring our dysfunction into digital space as well and started wiping people's digital selves out? Why would it tolerate the company of less intelligent people at all? Why wouldn't it just copy itself and have those clones live in digital space instead?
