Would it? Though we do contribute to entropy, things like, say, stars do so at a much faster pace. Admittedly this is logically distinct from the AI's decision to destroy humanity, but I don't see why it would immediately jump to the conclusion that we should be wiped out when the main sources of entropy are elsewhere.

More to the point, not all unFriendly AIs would necessarily care about entropy.

It's kind of a moot question though since shutting off the sun would also be a very effective means of killing people.
