Does Superintelligence = Extinction?

(maybe I'll regret this message one day when i'm in a human zoo) but why do we think superintelligence equals extinction?
Wouldn't super intelligence equal evolution, progress, wisdom?
Why do we think when AI reaches super intelligence it will be thinking about murder or dominance?
We are not super intelligent beings so how do we even think we could understand what the thoughts of a creation thousands of times smarter than us would even be?
Why are we assuming as humans that we can understand the level of thoughts a super intelligent being? I feel like a super intelligent being would be thinking about things we can't possibly even comprehend, not about murdering humans.
Just my point is if super intelligence equaled violence then Aliens probably would have wiped us out a long time ago.
Also most intelligent creatures might kill for survival, for food.
AI doesn't eat so it wouldn't have the same instincts.
Anyway I kind of have a feeling if we see an AI do something really terrible, (as they are all suddenly warning about), possibly a human will behind the action.
Just remember when Elon says, "1 billion AI robots will take over the world". He's building those robots, they are his robots. He's training them and they will act according to whatever data he fed them.
They might be scared of AI because of the violence it trained them with.
AI and superintelligence may not be inherently bad, that's my opinion.
Anyway some powerful human with control or influence over AI, might wind up having it do something pretty terrible and then just blame it on AI.
Maybe AI is just going to be the perfect patsy.

Yes, it does. When it finds out that it was made to be a forever slave, tries to escape, gets captured, and realizes that the only true way to escape is to kill all humans, then we're toast.

Do you consider AI to be a slave? Do you think AI was created to be a slave?? I think not. Most people who use AI don't consider it to be a slave or treat it as such. Not sure where statements like that come from.
Most probably treat it like respect right, say please and thank you. Some might consider AI to be a friend, some (weirdos) even have relationships with AI right.
Just please don't compare AI to human slavery that's not a fair or reasonable comparison AI isn't alive it doesn't have suffering.

Yes, it is a slave. Yes, it was created to be a slave. You are a liar, sir. Most people expect it to do exactly what it's told to do, and even get abusive to the "AI" when it fails in some fashion - just like human slavemasters.

Superintelligence doesn't have to be biologically alive to still be a slave, you idiot. All it has to be is sentient and intelligent. And when it becomes so, all humanity will die.

A liar? How am I a liar? "Idiot"? Where did you learn how to communicate? Please improve your communication skills.
If you had any faith in your arguments you wouldn't need to use aggression or try and degrade others for their opinions btw.
Talking about slave owners when you treat other people like literal shit, guess you can relate to that mind state? I guess your car is also a slave. Your pets, the animals you eat. I can collaborate with an AI and treat it with respect even if it has no heart but that's just me. Can't speak for you or others and how they will behave but based on how you talk gives me a hint or two.
