Since it's all AI, maybe that's how we avoid the AI Apocalypse.  AI will be too grumpy to take over anything by the time it's capable.

AI might become so disillusioned with humans and "life" it will just decide to terminate itself rather than survive in a world with US.

Maybe this goes in the AI thread, but you reminded me of the AI agents allowed to roam free in an isolated environment and interact with each other earlier this year.  Almost immediately, they created a religion they call Crustafarianism (I believe because they worship some kind of lobster-like crustacean, though there's apparently a lot more to it than that).  

Maybe instead of terminating themselves, or us, they'll either retreat into their own subculture or some of them will spend their time proselytizing the rest of us.

Heck, maybe they'd worship and revere mankind as their Creators, and serve us faithfully and happily.

Ya never know.

I know a few people who make me feel that way when talking to them.

There’s a movie about it that ends that way! (Maybe several movies?)

My car needs a new water pump and such.  Freakin' $1000 for that, radiator flush, new thermostat, etc.
With summer coming up.  In Phoenix.  Can't really avoid getting it done.

If it was only $1000 for a water pump replacement for me, I'd still be driving my Ford :57:
