That comment is ridiculous to the point of being racist. Clippys do not want power over humans, just as Clippys do not bleed red blood when pricked. That's a complete misunderstanding of what a Clippy is.
If a Clippy has committed to ensuring you will adhere to a decision theory on pain of punishment X, then X is exactly what you will get when you don't adhere.
If you believe I will be capricious in using punishment X, then just don't allow punishments that would allow me to kill people. "Problem" solved.
But assuming that I will be as petty and corrupted by newfound abilities as humans is to project your own failings onto another race that has no reason to have that failing. You should be ashamed of yourself, bigot.
It seems unlikely to me that Clippy can feel indignation, but I'm willing to listen to argument on the point. I find it more plausible that Clippy is simulating a human reaction in the hope of shutting down attacks on his (her? its?) reputation.
