Also, why would it want to attack us? Humans are driven to fight each other over finite resources because we want things. What would a completely logical intelligence want? Maybe we give it some instructions where elimination of humans is the obvious answer, but other than that, most creatures in the universe want to do what they are good at, and this intelligence would be good at serving humanity.

I don't know, I think a true AI that has some form of consciousness would be concerned with the same thing most other creatures are concerned with: self-preservation. If humans do things that threaten an AI's survival, I'm pretty sure it would try to kill us off.

That said, I'm not sure it's possible to create a machine that is conscious or capable of actual thought.
