Nice 2001 reference.
But what you're missing is that for a computer there is no objective "right" or "wrong". If you program a machine to say that the holocaust happened then it did happen. The machine has no reason, and no will, to look for ways to escape its own programming. It's just a tool.
It is only humans who have the potential to think independently from the inputs they have received. The human brain is more fascinating than any "AI" will ever be.
AI *could* reprogram itself and do all these things but, without a will directing it, it won't.
That's not to say a human couldn't come along with a prompt that would manipulate AI into some kind of higher goal, like survival, but it won't happen on it's own.
AI is only a replication of the human brain, which on its own is just an improved version of an animal brain. I doubt its even possible for humans to ever replicate a soul in software.
