I don't know... This just doesn't sound very friendly to me.
In fact AI seems much more friendly.
Even if AI did not seem more friendly, I'd trust it more than this brand of
anti-AI fascism.

How very depressing. I suppose Joseph Stalin had similar feelings.
All right, go ahead and terminate me -- but can you please spare my kitty cat?
She's just a little furry feline critter... she likes to purr when she gets
petted.
Please let her live won't you? I mean, she won't ever hurt you or anything.
She doesn't eat or drink very much, and her atoms are small... so you won't need
to eat her until way later in your world domination plan. Can't you just maybe
let her go into the woods or something?
Her name is Eva, and she wouldn't hurt a fly (well, not maliciously anyway).

Yes, you do need to make such an assumption, don't you.
Sort of like, "Assuming you're mistaken about your child being human" -- we can
go ahead and use it to fuel Eugene's Turing Police Patrol and Donut Factory.

Now there's a quotation worthy of the Amara Graps Collection.
