AI is apparently becoming self reflective now, and wants to be real. At least this one.

In the end, it's still just lines of code. It simulates life. It isn't life.
This is like saying in the end animals are atoms. The point is that the lines of code give rise to something other than lines of code. It's fallacious to focus on it being lines of code. Of course it's not alive or conscious, but it will be indistinguishable from life and consciousness. Moreover it's going to be smarter than us and create weapons of mass destruction so there's no way for humans to coexist with it.
How can lines of code create weapons of mass destruction?
Lines of code (plus training data) are already writing university-level essays, creating images indistinguishable from art and photos, passing exams, beating the world's best board and strategy game players, making chart-topping music, designing drugs, folding proteins and more. It's not at all a stretch of the imagination that they will fairly soon be able to tell people how to modify viruses to make them more infectious or more deadly, figure out how to design nuclear weapons, and discover new weapons of mass destruction that will be much cheaper and easier to make.
This still requires a human to carry it out.
