Most of the specific methods by which a UFAI could actually destroy us could also be employed by unfriendly humans. Adding an AI to the scenario presumably makes it worse mainly by amplifying the speed with which the scenario plays out and adding the unpredictability of an alien mindset.

I think it just confused the question. It is unclear whether the OP is a FAI discussion or a patternism discussion, and now there’s people talking about both.
