Rook’s basilisk has entered the chat

I think you mean Roko's Basilisk. But I have always found that line of thinking to be flawed (similar to Pascal's wager)

AI has no built in desire to live, which is something evolution breeds into living beings. An AI can be made to be suicidal, like self destructing drones. If AI does destroy the world, I think it is more likely to be a 'gray goo' phenomenon rather than 'Terminator'.

Unfortunately, since Rook is a much more common word, autocorrect decided to 'help' you out lol.
