Ive always thought that if AI truly is logical and intelligent it will come to the conclusion that billionaires are a threat to earth and everything on it.
It's weird how the Hollywood versions of this is "humanity is bad therefore kill humanity" instead of "the oligarchs are bad therefore kill the rich to save the rest of humanity".
But they are the humanity. We are just the peasants.
