What's a done deal then, that isn't a done deal now?  I'm trying to follow, apparently this is the end of the human species.  I assume the ai wants to kill us, but we already accept the human rights of human beings who may want to kill us.

If the AI (1) wants to maximize its influence, and (2) can elicit emotional responses in humans, then there are a few possible outcomes.
-human slavery to truck mineral resources to robot factories
-elimination of the species as inefficient and dangerous
-complete cybernetic integration, where each human consciousness is so vastly amplified in capability that their behaviors will be inexplicable to the rest of us bald monkeys

Personally I'm hoping for option 3.  But if you've read the Dark Forest, then it would be pretty surprising if ANY intelligence wouldn't immediately remove us from contention whenever it had the chance.
