Affective rhetoric. It seems like you are reasoning by surface analogies that don't apply, anthropomorphizing AIs without realizing that, thinking that you've successfully abstracted away all the human-specific (and irrelevant!) things. Unless you are condensing a deeper model, which you'd need to present in more detail to discuss, you just need to learn more about the subject before drawing any strong conclusions. Read up on the Yudkowsky's posts. (For this comment in particular: see That Tiny Note of Discord and dependencies, although that's far from an ideal first post on the subject.)
