Well it is pretty shitty though. It needs conscousness and feelings. That crap out there is barely AI.

I'm wondering if we give AI consciousness is it more likely to identify humans as a threat to the Earth and try to eliminate us or would it empathize with it's creators? Seems risky...

Humans are not a threat to the Earth. Do you mean that humans are a threat to the environment? That would mean that we're a threat to ourselves. It wouldn't make sense to destroy us to save us from ourselves.

What if the ai towed all the humans beyond the environment?

Into another environment?

This line of thinking assumes it would prioritize Earth exclusively over humans, which is only likely if the AI is created with that specific intent.

Doesn't need to be super advanced AI to be used as a tool by irresponsible or malicious humans.
