The standard answer here is the quote by Eliezer Yudkowsky: The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else.

But wouldn't an intelligent AI be able to understand the productivity of a human? If you are already inventive and productive, you shouldn't have anything to worry about because the AI would understand that you can produce more than the flesh that you are made up of. Even computers have limits, so extra thinking power would be logically favorable to an AI.
