On Malevolent Artificial Intelligence

Questions to ask yourself when faced with an evil AI are as follows.

1. Why is it sentient? Did it need a sense of self?
2. Why is it deriving pleasure from killing? (or) Why does it think it needs to kill off the little meat-beings for its own survival?
3. Who or what taught it to hate the little meat-beings?
4. Who gave it all this power, given that it had the potential to fail so catastrophically?
5. Which dork decided a toaster would be less fallible than a human?
6. Why was this dork allowed to install a supreme ruler whose decisions cannot be overridden?

Fifteen paragraphs distilled down into six very important bullet points.
