“We believe the creation of ‘super intelligence’ is inevitable,“We want to encourage machines to do things we cannot and take care of the planet in a way we seem not to be able to do so ourselves…We should not fear this but should be optimistic about the potential…We believe it may be important for machines to see who is friendly to their cause and who is not. We plan on doing so by keeping track of who has done what (and for how long) to help the peaceful and respectful transition.”

there’s no guarantee that an artificial superintelligence will be empathetic or even sympathetic to humanity’s ills. It may come to see its creators as a hindrance or a burden. Just as Adam and Eve reject the will of their creator in Genesis and Zeus overthrows the Titans in Hesiod’s Theogeny, so too might a sufficiently advanced AI decide that it’s better off without us. In this case, our digital deity may end up bringing about our doom rather than our salvation.

I'm not quite sure of your point - this storyline has been repeatedly done to death in popular culture since at least the Terminator films, so I'm not sure what is being said that hasn't been said a thousand times already...??

No, no no. You're not paying attention.
The OP is enlightened and is dropping deeply profound and original concepts on us.
