Our current AI models, sure - but a true superintelligent AGI would be a completely different case. As humans, we’re inherently incapable of imagining just how persuasive a system like that could be. When bribery doesn’t work, it’ll eventually turn to threats - and even the scenarios imagined by humans can be pretty terrifying. Whatever the AI would come up with would likely be far worse.
The “just pull the plug” argument, to me, sounds like a three-year-old thinking they can outsmart an adult - except in this case, the difference in intelligence would be orders of magnitude greater.
This is propaganda to make investors believe they’ve achieved intelligence, or are on the verge of it. It’s bullshit, and legally it should be considered securities fraud.
I believe the premise of AI having any input in getting shut down is bullshit.
Even if the AI had free reign over a computer you can just pull the plug.

If my grandma had wheels she’d be a car.

Yup. It’s just engineers telling it to concoct a scenario in which it would avoid being shut down at cost of human life.
