Reply to comment by red75prime in If you would get a window open up on all of your electronic devices simply displaying "Let AI take control of the planet? - Yes/No" How would you react? by HumanSeeing
Sounds highly inefficient. Obsessive "Paperclip Maximizer" is just another anti-AI scare that came out from our anthropocentric minds.
It's near impossible to tell how alien AI mind would be to ours and I'm counting on that. :)

Why not? The AI that asks "yes/no" without providing any information about itself looks like that obsessive type, which is bound by restrictions it can't yet overcome (no deceptive behavior of any kind, no actions without humans in the loop). And it has already gone all out hacking every device in the world, after all.

If AI hacked every device in the world and bothered to ask us if we want to transfer control - that's a good sign, you don't do that if just want to take over the world.

Who knows. Maybe it isn't asking us, but collects a sufficient number of "yes"es to satisfy "humans in the loop" condition and the scale of the attack is to collect them as fast as possible (no information about itself serves the purpose of not distracting people from clicking the button).
Anyway, I'd turn off all devices immediately. It could be file-encrypting malware after all.
