Yes they could do all that if they were smart enough but note that the blockchains are being used to do an ever increasing amount of stuff. Note in a few decades the chains may collectively control much of the world economy. If they were smart enough then all they would have to do is use some smart contract to engineer a world war that had the unexpected outcome of putting the AI (Ems?) in power. That's why us humans must strive to be better, and not to let some small elite take to much power and give it to robots.

This is precisely the point. We can have neither an optimistic POV nor a pessimistic POV since this is so entrenched in pure conjecture. I would much prefer to think that we as Humans, in the coming decade, learn to live and thrive peacefully between ourselves. That in and of itself would show AI that we can maintain ourselves in a manner befitting our species.
Thanks for the discourse, very interesting.
