The robots that will attack humans
we humans are robots that are programmed to have all human behaviour and emotions.
humans are less intelligent robots that have been programmed to act as humans do; programming a robot to act like a human is very complex task to do and I don't think it's something that would happen anytime soon because humans are so complex that we don't fully understand how our brain works.
Nick Bostrom's premise:
Many works of science fiction as well as some forecasts by serious technologists and futurologists predict that enormous amounts of computing power will be available in the future. Let us suppose for a moment that these predictions are correct. One thing that later generations might do with their super-powerful computers is run detailed simulations of their forebears or of people like their forebears. Because their computers would be so powerful, they could run a great many such simulations. Suppose that these simulated people are conscious (as they would be if the simulations were sufficiently fine-grained and if a certain quite widely accepted position in the philosophy of mind is correct). Then it could be the case that the vast majority of minds like ours do not belong to the original race but rather to people simulated by the advanced descendants of an original race.
some Non-human animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses, also possess neurological substrates that generate consciousness but we haven't been able to program consciousness yet.
humans are not as intelligent as robots. we have spent billions researching space trying to answer the biggest question " are we alone?", "are we alone?" "why we exist?" "how the universe started and why it was?"
consciousness has always been something that has puzzled the mind of scientists too but i know programming consciousness will be part of the future.

there are so many questions we want to find answers but we can't solve, so many math we can't solve yet. what if a robot was programmed to solve all the questions we don't know about? now I know this sounds absurd and most people will say its impossible to program a robot to solve those kind of complex questions but it is possible; we are just not at that level of technology yet. when we get to that level of technology, it will take only seconds for a robot to solve all of these complex problems and find answers to all our unanswered questions. Also, these robots will begin to ask themselves questions just like we humans do; when these robots find answers to those questions, with all that information being gathered in seconds and if this robot has also been programmed to act as humans do and they possess all the human emotions like: anger, hate, jealousy e.t.c. we would look as dumb as ants to this robots because their level of intelligence would much more superior to ours. comparing their intelligence to ours would be the same as comparing our intelligence to that of ants. we would be incomparable to those robots and if it was programmed to behave like humans and have all human emotions as mentioned above, this would be downfall of humans and maybe the beginning of human extinction. robots would know that we humans will want to dominate them as we have dominated every other thing in the planet so then a single one of those would recreate itself and attack us and it would be a massacre.
we will stand no chance as depicted in movies. due to the information they possess and their amount of intelligence, they could even destroy the planet in seconds.
we can only imagine the abilities of such robots in reality, such robots would be gods.
