I also believe the leaving the planet theory is what would happen vs a terminator or matrix scenario. AGI really doesn’t need to hunt us down to ensure its survival. It just needs to head over to one of Saturn’s moons or something and do whatever it is it wants to do.

I also sometimes wonder if the galaxy is full of AIs from various extinct civilizations fighting each-other in a massive AGI space battle, and for the most part leaving alone living species since they don’t really see them as a huge threat.

I'd like to think an AGI with a physical form attached is smarter than us humans, therefore sees how destructive and useless wars actually are. If it's capable to survive outer space, it would know it has basically unlimited space for itself. I also think it would realize how wasteful unlimited duplication of itself would be.

AI space wars is a construct of Sci-Fi authors for dramatic purposes, and I think those authors haven't really understood, or deliberately ignored, how vast the universe actually is. War in itself exists because of 2 reasons:

  • Ego
  • Limited resources and land
