I believe much of our paranoia concerning ai stems from our fear that something will come along and treat us like we treat all the other life on this planet. Which is bitterly ironic considering our propensity for slaughtering each other on a massive scale. The only danger to humanity is humans. If humanity is doomed, it will be our own stupid fault, not AI.
But if AI learns from us...
True. But we are still talking about what is essentially an alien mind. Even if it can do a good impression of a human intelligence, doesn't mean it is a human mind. It won't have billions of years of evolution and thousands of years of civilization and development.
