If I’m a superintelligent AI, killing all the people is probably the easiest way to prevent people from interfering with my objectives, which people might do for example by creating a second superintelligence. It’s just easier for me to kill them all (supposing I care nothing about human values, which will probably be the case for the first superintelligent AI given the way things are going in our civilization) than to keep an eye on them or to determine which ones might have the skills to contribute to the creation of a second superintelligence (and kill only those).
(I’m slightly worried what people will think of me when I write this way, but the topic is important enough I wrote it anyways.)
