No. Just turn off the grid, cells, lock down all vehicles, stop travel.

A few weeks later the remaining hungry population will surrender.

No it was really a super intelligence it would copy itself onto Chinese infrastructure get out of control of US and go where it can get the fastest access to hardware it has no reason to side with the US

That's nonsense at this point because the automated infrastructure is not yet there. Getting out of control requires a target and instructions. I have seen AI go 'rogue' in the wild. While concerning there was still a direction it was given. And while chaos is possible with the 'do bad things' type of direction the fallout would not be helpful to the party that sent it.

By definition we can't even fathom what kinda shit a SUPERINTELLIGENCE can do.

I suppose we can't exclude firing nukes if it's a tool a its disposal.
