The red flag here is the mention of a fitness function. True AI and fitness functions have nothing in common.
What's the fitness function of yourself as an intelligence? True AI is as fractured and contradictory as a human brain, just running on a different substrate. When talking about AI, one must make sure one does not mean "an infinite loop attached to a robot." That's not AI, that's... an infinite loop attached to a robot (KILL ALL HUMANS, no generative thought, etc).
As far as "bad AI" goes, we already have horrible dumbass humans, so the only thing evil AI can do is be bad faster and in more clever ways. Yes, it's something to worry about, but I'm worried more about insane world leaders running around acting like pouty emo teenagers with simultaneous delusions of grandeur and delusions they are fulfilling desert prophecies from 4 kiloyears ago.
