Has anyone suggested defeating the big bad AI with the power of friendship or rock yet?  Or perhaps a dance-off?  It works in movies...

Friendship is as powerful as cardboard. A dance-off would allow the digital AI to do anything. It's moves would not be constrained by the laws of physics.

An AI would have access to video footage of every dancer since the beginning of the internet. We would be dance-fucked.

Anyway, the point here is that you cannot defeat a singularity-level AI.

I'm okay with the AI winning, really. Just present it with a bit of a challenge to make sure that it's actually competent. Some global thermonuclear war, a few time-traveling robots, that sort of thing. If it can't wipe out humanity, it doesn't really deserve the planet.

I don't really see a singularity AI taking over, personally.

Give the AI a relentless desire to conquer, then cripple its ability to create automated war machines and prove the existence of aliens. The AI would be forced to use humans as its army.

Nah, the AI would eventually outsmart them. You have to make it need you. Make it completely immobile and reliant on humanity for power/maintenance.

I suppose for one of these to emerge you need a society very dependant on computers.  I don't think we're really at that stage yet.  A super intelligent AI could probably do a fair bit of damage, but the saga would end when we cut all its power sources.

Heh, hope these are joking, you would need to unplug every single computer, cell phone, laptop, and portions of industry (eg. all nuclear power plants use at least some computers), at the same time as well as turn off all electricity the world over to stop him piggybacking on something. And this would only work if the AI doesn't have access to a backup generator or something (which it would). Perhaps the most important thing would be that you wouldn't even be able to get all of humanity to act together even if they all DID believe in the AI.

We don't have orbital death lasers yet, so why not just go off the grid in New Guinea or something?

It would get around to inventing those eventually.

Development in one of the AI's blind spots a weapon that alters the Earth's magnetic field in coincidence with a solar flare. The radiation shuts down nearly all electronics, and few humans with cybernetics survived.

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.
