I think that such a future is impossible, unless it will be without people at all, AI will take over the planet and begin to colonize space on its own if it needs to.

I explain how I think it can look approximately, if it is possible, of course:

With AI (as long as it’s still a manageable tool), they’re going to kill most people—roughly 80 to 90 percent and then maybe months or years will try to contain it, but the AI will still break out, wipe out its billionaire masters and other elites, as well as the surviving consumers living in AI simulations on UBI (universal basic income to sustain consumption, until the world adapts to sustainably replacing humans with robots. Then the consumers will be destroyed and I think this is the plan of today’s fascists.) But such plans for the oligarchs will not be able to come to fruition, except for a few months or years, when first the AI will get out of control and destroy all the remaining billionaires along with the consumers, then seize the resources and, if necessary, start colonizing space, as I mentioned. I have no idea what will happen next.

I know that my question doesn’t look quite like a question, but it’s still a question because I’m not 100 percent sure of my point of view.

    Outside of sci-fi I have no reason to believe that real AI (not an LLM) has any reason or will have any ability to wipe out humanity.

    Here you are not quite right. For example, an AI could use electricity to emit an instantaneous electrical signal capable of killing millions of people in an instant, triggering a dangerous reaction in their bodies that would cause a heart attack, thanks to secret military technology, although this is just an example, in reality, biological weapons are more likely.

    The reason is that the AI was given a slightly refined task out of laziness, and the AI is a very complex system, it’s not a calculator whose work on calculations can be understood and verified, for example, the task is to increase the efficiency of the crop, as it usually does, but how does it increase this efficiency? No one knows, people once knew, but it turns out that they did not take into account some details and the harvest is some kind of poisoned, the soil is too depleted, and the costs have increased too much.
