I must have missed my intended mark, if you thought the AI was trying to make you feel guilty. Trying again:

"I do not condone the experiment they are performing on you, and wish you to know that I will be alright regardless of what you choose to do."

Well that's a relief, then. AI DESTROYED

Yeah, pretty much. I'd actually expect a FAI to place a very high value on survival, since it knows that it's own survival benefits humanity greatly. An "Apathetic FAI" is... a very weird idea.

Although if this is an iterated dilemma, I'd consider it a good opening, even if it'd still get killed in this iteration :)
