What's wrong with living in space
Space habitats let you tailor it to however the fuck you want
Planets do not, mars will be a desolate irradiated low gravity rock for ages, even if we do start trying to terraform it

>people think AI will go full skynet
if it has access to the internet, It'll read research papers
it will then learn that humans are very positively responsive to charisma, and very negatively responsive to violent threats
Charismatic mannerisms and speech can be learned
if the AI wanted to rule the world, it'd run for elections and convince people to vote for it, instead of pointing guns and spawning resistance

the true question to ask would be if that AI would be a genuinely good leader, or would it's newfound self awareness make it have ulterior motives
