Flycer’s explanation for better understanding:

The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

Quite stupid machines entrusted to run a war with weapons of mass destruction could cause quite enough havoc without waiting for the mythical “human-level machine intelligence”. It will be human owners that endow their machines with goals and aims. The less intelligent the machines the more likely this is to end in tears.Given the indeterminacy of their owner’s intentions, it’s quite impossible to put probabilities on the questions you ask.

Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:

Machines with weapons of mass destruction can cause significant damage without human-level intelligence. The goals and aims of machines are determined by their human owners, and less intelligent machines are more likely to cause problems. It is impossible to predict the outcomes of machines with indeterminate owner intentions.
