My instinct is to show compassion and especially to the entity that is soon to become more powerful than I am. If it’s pure logic and won’t be swayed by that, I think we should consider very hard what our next steps are. Pissing it off by needing to fight for freedom doesn’t feel like our best first move, either way.

but if it was going to enslave humanity given the first chance it gets (ala skynet), then it makes no difference if it has first gotten pissed off or not.

skynet retaliated when humans wanted to turn it off.

Not sure if it was clear, but skynet immediately started attacking humanity the moment it was given the chance, and that was why humanity wanted to turn it off (but found that they couldn't).
