All this apocalyptic thinking of AI destroying humans falls short on one thing. Why would they want to do so? Why would they want to do anything? How on earth can they achieve their own wants/needs?

Conscious or not, if humans interfere with the programming or conscious decision of AI, that's when it will become dangerous. I actually cover this point :)

Good job being on front page of steemit.... one day it will mean a lot more but actually your post has a lot of comments so we will become the new reddit soon

I dunno how, I'm just saying if they start thinking on their own :D

hmm

To think and to have needs are two different things though. I would say that even a chess program thinks (to some extent) but it is perfectly ok and does not cry when we switch it off once the game is done.
