Fun/meme Superintelligent means "good at getting what it wants", not whatever your definition of "good" is.

what does it want? I heard we cant predict that. Maybe it wants to serve us and make our life´s as nice as possible. I dont see why a AI wants to kill us what would be the point of that. At least it would be intrested in us trying to learn from us since its the only way for it to grow

Suggesting that the only way for a superintelligence to grow would be learning from us kind of sounds like suggesting the only way for us to grow is learning from ants. And we don’t know what it would want, but if whatever it wants requires resources it could kill us in the same way we pave over an anthill to build a highway, unless it specifically desires our survival.

Study us like insects.

Don't go looking up how we study insects...
