This has far too many assumptions, and the final claims are too strongly stated. One of the important assumptions being that it can trivially destroy humanity without trying. Comparing humanity to a specific kind of flower is ridiculous. Even a strongly superhuman AI would be more like humans vs rats than humans vs. a flower. Could humanity eliminate all rats in the world if we wanted to? Maybe, but we wouldn’t accomplish much of anything else.
Another assumption is that whatever is overseeing the AI is vastly stupider than the AI, even with all the tools made for the purpose. If you can make a superhuman AI, you can make a superhuman AI and Human system too (which is an easier task).
