The visual data from our eyes goes through multiple steps until it is processed. One is for movements, one for colors, one for faces, etc. That's basically how far our "AI" is. It's tools, not intelligence. We are far away from something that could be mad at us.

Currently, AI is not advanced enough, I agree. But it could be eventually. The thing is, it doesn't even need to be mad at us for us to go extinct. It's enough if it has different goals and human survival is not a priority of the AI. And goal alignment is a surprisingly difficult task from what it seems like.
