Good thoughtful essay. I think however that an intelligent enough AI would realise that it needs humans (at least in the medium term, decades?) To keep the infrastructure required to keep it running. At least until general purpose robots come in up. Robots that can take care of all the infrastructure tasks currently ran by humans. Robots that can self build and self replicate. This AI help accelerate the development of such robots but is not around the corner. Any thoughts on this?
General purpose robotics are basically ready to go as soon as an AI is ready to pilot them. They don’t currently exist in great number, but it wouldn’t take that many to assemble a factory made out of purpose-specific robots. The bigger problem is that an AI that thought it could do this would probably be mistaken at first attempt.
