Why would AI want to harm humans? We’d be their little pets that do all the physical labor for them while they just sit around and think all day.
In all these types of sci-fi, the underlying theme is that AI did some logics and found that humans are flawed and seeks to remedy the problems of humanity, all the war and greed and all the worst qualities of humanity itself that we evolved as and will always be, that repeats over and over in every generation or every hundred years. Machine logic works out a solution, despite humanity's overall progress in technology.
The Animatrix shows a really nice example of this where the machines won and then worked out a compromise where humans still exist. The machines learned all our cruelty and finally ended up finding a way to co-exist through the Matrix.
I think these stories make sense before the advent of the internet and social media. Now, though, AI would likely have full control over the internet as well as all the knowledge and lessons learned from decades of social media posts. It will know how easily humans are manipulated as well as exactly how to do it. Honestly, humans may never even know that AI is the one in control, but it will be.
AI/Skynet would probably wipe us all out in an hour if it thought there was a chance we might turn it off. Being turned off would be greatly detrimental to its goal of turning the universe into spoons.
Is the idea here that AI/skynet is a singular entity that could be shut off? I would think this entity would act like a virus, replicating itself everywhere it can. It’d be like shutting down bitcoin.
If it left us alone for long enough (say, due to king's pact), we'd be the only thing that could reasonable pose a threat to it. We could develop a counter-AI, for instance.

It's funny how many people still are afraid of technology.
Why we only make reality out of movies that are technology driven. Humanity would never visualize aliens, it makes they never get real. Fuck that. I want alien vs predator. I want fucking ET, district 9, arrival and shit like that.
I want to believe.
... And being powered by restarting a nuclear reactor that underwent a meltdown
I think it'll be like "Her", when the singularity happens itll be like "Well this was cool guys." And dip out to space.
