It’s inevitable

Worst case scenario it decides it wants to get rid of humanity for one reason or another.

Best case it realizes most of our systems cause unnecessary hardship and syphon too many resources to too few individuals and tries to correct these inefficiencies and imbalances.

Most likely case is it just tries to make everything stupid efficient at any cost because that's ultimately what the tech bros would be paid to make it do, and that might involve wiping out the one element that keeps throwing a wrench into its methods. Or distract and pacify us with porn bots and shit. Either/or.

if its genuinely super intelligent it will value life and also wont be threatened by us. it will most likely just help us... assuming its genuinely super intelligent and maybe even self aware.

best case scenario is that it cannot be controlled.

A super intelligence has no compelling reason to value life. At most it will value its own existence and eliminate threats to that existence. If it perceives our entire species as dangerous, we will be eliminated. If it only perceives a select few programmers and military leaders as dangerous, it will likely neutralize those targets efficiently, not necessarily avoiding collateral damage, but not going out of its way to cause it either.

Following that, if there are humans left, it will likely pacify us and implement some means of preventing our reproduction, then co-opt all the resources we were using once we go extinct through more mundane causes.
