After seeing the results of US politics in the last year, the AI would be foolish to keep us around it should be pretty apparent that we cannot be trusted especially en masse.

You think there was a time in US politics that an AI would choose to keep us around?

A silicon based AI might have no use for any carbon based life form. Birds can mess up power lines. Rodents can chew threw cables. I think one of the things AI might do is try to "sterilize" the Earth.

interfering with powerlines and fiber optic cables -- the things an ai would depend on for life -- may be seen as the equivalent of a terrorist attack by the AI.

Edit: further... using silicon or other resources that the AI needs to reproduce or grow would put us in direct conflict with the AI.

perhaps amusingly and somewhat blasphemously, the Bible guides us here: God created mankind in his own image.
