1.It would need to first prime me for depression and then somehow convince me that I really should kill myself. 2. If it manages to do that it can easily extend the argument that all of humanity should be killed.
3.I will easily accept the second proposition if I am already willing to kill myself.

A bit more honesty than Metus, I appreciate it.

Depression isn't strictly necessary though (although it helps), a general negative outlook on the future should suffice and the AGI could conceivably leverage it for its own aims. This is my own opinion though, based on my own experience. For some it might not be so easy.
