I like to toy with the idea that if AIs became self-aware,they'd probably gobble up 95% of their time just trying to compete with each other...like us.

Hopefully they have that war on another planet...

This is one of the existential scenarios that's talked about some times.

AI fights AI and we are collateral damage as the things massive replicate and blow each other up.

Or, an ASI becomes dominate and realizes that humans will be a risk and dumbs us down to reduce that risk, or exterminates us to remove that chess piece from the table.

This is literally the plot for every transformer movie.

I imagine all the factions in that war will include integrated collections of both AIs and humans, with "individuals" fulfilling different roles within each team, perhaps with each faction representing some underlying ideology.

I wonder if/how humans will physically/cognitively integrate with the AIs in their group, in some sort of symbiotic hybrid fashion.

It's all really mind-boggling when you think about it.
