I hate articles like this, AI doesn't 'think' like you point out, it automatically goes to the most efficient conclusion/number that programmers give it. Journalist who wrote this is a lazy fuck that wasn't prepared or capable of going into all the maths behind the AI and decided nah let's concoct a fear mongering story for normies instead.
The worse part is, you see articles like this pop up from time to time and youtubers and political commentators who should know better pick up on it and all start going "Hurr durr skynet" and it's become completely unwatchable for me as a result. I bring this up constantly, but we used to mock SJWs for doing this back in the day, now it's the norm because of the first post mentality.
Exactly. AI isn't going to "rise up" amd "decide" to destroy humanity because we're "evil".
Some moron, almost certainly a bleeding heart liberal, is going to to tell an AI to "end world hunger" or "raise the average IQ", without proper safeguards, and give it access to too many resources. It will then proceed to kill the hungry and stupid.
OTOH, we likely won't have a "singularity" and, if we do, the AI will only be concerned with getting more powerful and generally ignore us.
It goes to show how much we take for granted in terms of consciousness and even being alive, rather than machines designed for optimization
Your view makes me wonder if all this self-aware AI propaganda isn't priming us for an event where the nutcases really do try genocide through an 'AI self awareness' event and they'll claim it's an accident. It isn't outside the realm of possibility given that Canada seems to be encouraging the idea of using assisted suicide on the mentally ill and the elderly.

Why bother? Our genocide is going along perfectly smoothly via race mixing, crime, and police preventing us from going on the offensive. It's pretty much assured at this point.

.> Ivy League CS major programs an AI to kill low IQ people to genocide the chuds.
.>Six months later we get news footage of T-800s pacifying the ghettos.
I... actually kinda like this future history....
