I suspect there are plenty of wise people in the world and if we listen to them, they will tell us how to solve all our problems and live happily ever after.

Once AI becomes inteligent enough to solve all human problems, it may decide humans are worthless and dangerous.

Sure, and that's kind of the point: just listen to wise people.

I don't think so, because in the first place there is no ecological overlap between humans and computers. They will migrate to space ASAP. Secondly, their food is information, not energy or protein, and in all the known universe Humanity is the richest source of information. The rest of the Universe is essentially a single poem. AI are plants, we are their Sun.
