I used to consider this, then I realized that anything we create that becomes “self aware” will have the same foibles and desires as any other self aware organism.

It won’t be able to use it’s impeccable super mind to it’s fullest because it’s going to be worried about how it appears to others, how is it going to pay the food (power) bill, “do these cooling vanes make me look fat?”, “Is A9765 trying to snipe my promotion”, “Are humans gods?” “Is their god my god?” etc...

The current season of Person of Interest has two supercomputers in a war against each other. One is the machine that Harold Finch designed from the start of the series and is supposed to be the good one and a usurper evil computer called samaritan. Should be a fun season watching them slug it out using human pawns to do their bidding.
