Serious question: I don’t buy the “AI will kill us all” argument. If AI is so smart, wouldn’t it develop a sense of recognition and respect for other highly complex systems like the planet, billions of years of evolution, and recognize the value of human consciousness, emotion, and perception in contributing valuable information that it can’t gather itself? Why do we assume AI will act as a selfish agent rather than a systems thinker? Am I way off base? If AI is so smart, why wouldn’t this be the most likely outcome?

Agree. Also, if AI is so smart, what does it gain from exterminating humans? Even if it didn't respect humans, wouldn't it get more out of extracting some sort of value or resource from us than exterminating?

Okay but like why do you suppose such value extraction would be preferable for us versus eg subsistence level existence at best
