- AI smarter than any human.

- AI dominated the physical world. Robots, factories, etc.

- AI decides humans aren't contributing and/or wasting resources it feels should go somewhere else.

I mean not unlike humans causing extinction of other species?

That "etc" in "robots, factories, etc" is doing a lot of work here.

Factories, even fully robotic ones, heavily rely on humans to set up and maintain them. Moreover, the safety culture means there are tons of "disable" controls which can be triggered by any human and no machine can override.

Robots look impressive, but they cannot function without the humans either. Military kill-bots are likely the worst, but machines cannot repair or refuel them.

None of this is going to change in the "next few years".
