if it uses an energy source, say battery or electricity, wouldnt we be able to un plug it and not worry about AI turning on us?

The theory is that AI learns exponentially. So, once it becomes self aware, it would have already surpassed our intelligence and probably would have figured out how to survive if unplugged by that point.

It's actually a really entertaining read.

"...as computer scientist Donald Knuth puts it, “AI has by now succeeded in doing essentially everything that requires ‘thinking’ but has failed to do most of what people and animals do ‘without thinking.'”

See, what the AI realizes that you don't is that you're a stupid human (an ESPECIALLY stupid human). So, you fail to grasp the idea that an exponentially learning and superintelligent AI that decides to kill you doesn't go about it like Skynet. It gets it right the FIRST time. By the time you think to pull the plug, it's already too late, and that's if the AI's plan lets you live long enough to even think about pulling the plug.

Sure, until the robots learn to use another source of power that can't be disabled. Think man, THINK!

This is correct. But nerds have some fascination/fetish with the idea that computers will become self aware and enslave us.
