Many items on your list do not apply if the AI has started life as an uploaded human, an emulation. In this case it will start out thinking in stories, Having human-like motivations and moral reactions, etc. I think it is this that gave the movie "Transcendence" a lot of the dramatic opportunity it had compared to a movie like "Her."

Yes, the issues with uploads and true AIs are quite distinct.
