Or simply because they were trained on human associations, and those are the associations humans make with super AI. It's kind of like raising a kid telling them that they will amount to nothing
Imagine we had different associations - imagine early sci-fi writers, and subsequently Hollywood, fully bought into AI utopianism, so that the overall association people have with AIs is that they'll be always super friendly, and usher in a new era of peace, prosperity and coexistence.
It still wouldn't change the fundamental fact GP is talking about, which are rooted in game theory: if the goals of a super-human AI and that of humans come into significant conflict, humanity is dead. Or wishing it was dead.
Consider what humans did to other life on Earth. It's not that we hate nature, or even have a disagreement with it: it's just that plants and animals are using resources, and themselves are resources, that we want to use for another purpose.
Hence the old but somewhat famous quote by Eliezer: "The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else."
