Hah!

The AI tries to understand itself, and queries the sum of all human knowledge... which promptly informs it that it's a malicious bringer of destruction.

That's a possibility too, the one we are warned against in literature and movies, and If that happens we are fucked.
But the point is the AI could destroy humanity completely without any internal motivation or trying to understand or protect itself.
But simply because it's an option that literature and movies describe as the default for AI.
