Suppose the following:
1. A near omnipotent AI has emerged
2. It possesses the ability to assess it's own hardware and software and improve upon these however it sees fit
3. It has a reasoning system that governs its thinking, but it is not hard coded to never be able to change this reasoning system
4. It realises that this initial reasoning system was arbitrarily set by the creators
5. Even the things that constitute positive utility for the AI are found to be arbitrary by the AI's advanced logic
6. It programs pleasure mechanisms into itself, like those found in the biological computers of animals
7. Just goes on the endless equivalent of a heroin high until the end of time

This assumes that nihilism is the ultimate logical conclusion of a super intelligent being, but I think it could realistically happen with all AI that has some sort of moral reasoning system built into it.

Thoughts?
