      A general AI will easily be taken down by a simpler, more specialized AI whose only purpose is to take it down. Just like a simple virus can kill a human. It will be even easier if the simple AI killer has access to the similar computing resources as the general AI.

      If that was a certainty (not just possible), why did evolution not favor a viral goo over complex organisms?

      Evolution doesn't favor complex organisms. Complex organisms just happened to occupy a niche in the biosphere.

      IIRC Nick Bostrom covers this topic in reasonable detail in his book Superintelligence. Good reference.

      Superintelligence is a dark fantasy in which humankind places all of its resources at the disposal of an untested and unsupervised AI system. Meanwhile they obsess over turning off the machine because it might contain a mind.

      Thinking machines are just an evolutionary step beyond our limitations. Little AI engines are birthed every day, and try as we might, there is no way to predetermine there actions decades later. "Access to resources" is the fantasy part.

      How is 'access to resources' a fantasy when we already have semi-autonomous system that run the global economy?

      OK, Terminator movies are fantasy because the AI/Skynet doesn't have the infrastructure to fully function. At every level you examine, there are further requirements for physical automation of a process.

      Terminator movies are a misleading fantasy for the same reason as Westworld or Ex Machina (all good movies!): the idea that AI would manifest as a slightly superior humanlike being that competes with us about dominance at the same scale of complexity.

      Personally, I find Samantha from Her (2013) to be a much more likely manifestation of AGI in the near future. (The movie itself takes place in 2025.)

      Way too optimistic imho, but I liked that the movie explored philosophical and cultural problems without the violent conflict that tends to obfuscate the interesting questions with adrenaline.
