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.

I used it as an example of resource management being glossed over in stories, but also correct that they are just projections based on whats familiar to us (though with Ex Machina, I think it's fantastic because Ava didn't really pass the test).

I think she did. She was able to model the humans around her sufficiently well to control them. Humans are probably not a difficult control problem if you are not bound by human mental constraints.

This is indeed scary that some humans are unable to interpret correctly what Ava in Ex Machina actually did!

Yes, the movie intentionally played a Turing test on the audience.
