Your line of argument in the other comment sounds convincing but I’m not sure how it answers my question! BTW in a war, there is also an option of a stalemate which is really a lose-lose situation for both sides (doesn’t look like it can apply to an AI takeover for the first glance).
As of responses to failed AI takeover attempts, I believe it will depend on the number of casualties: if there are dozens of fatalities or worse, the humanity will probably treat it as a fire alarm and react accordingly (whether it would be too late is another question), while if no one dies, probably not
