Suppose that the AI gets super intelligent and achieve a level of self-awareness and creativity that’s capable of doing new things instead of repeating something just pre-programmed.

Why would you assume that it’ll be malevolent? What purpose does it serve, other than to mess with the humans? That seems incredibly petty and non-intelligent to me.

If there’s going to be a malevolent AI, then you can be sure that there’ll also be “good” AI to counter the bad ones. Just like humans, where there are good people and bad people. If there’s ever going to be an AI then it’ll be indistinguishable from super intelligent humans.
