[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9647329, member: 4534"] The paperclip scenario sounds suspiciously like the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo']gray goo[/URL] scenario. I've got to admit I find the OP intriguing as I've never considered what happens [I]after [/I]the menacing AI rids itself of its pesky human infestation. There was an RPG that came out in the late 80s or early to mid 1990s, I cannot remember the name, but in the setting humanity was fighting a war against 5-6 AIs each of whom held a different territory on Earth. The AIs were allied with one another, at least insofar as defeating humanity, but they had different goals and methods. The moon AI was secretly helping the humans against the other AIs. Anyone remember that game? I haven't seen every single Terminator movie, but at least in the first two, Skynet didn't just become self-aware and try to wipe out humanity. It became self-aware, someone tried to shut it off, and it defended itself by attacking humanity. Who knows what it's long term goals are going to be once humanity has been wiped out? [/QUOTE]
