A distinct property of a machine is determinism. Machines are made of electrons that obey the wave equation: it states that all electrons evolve as one. However we skillfully limit this waveness and squash electrons into super deterministic 01 transistors. We need it because our computing paradigm revolves around determinism. A more general theory that works with probabilities and electrons as they are hasn't been developed yet. And here lies the danger: if a super deterministic AI becomes the ruler of our society, it will prevent further growth. The same phenomenon on individual level is called arrested development: when the individual over-develops a minor skill, becomes obsessed with it and it blinds him from exploring anything else.

A still possible future is when science makes a breakthru in quantum computing and finds a way for humans to steer AI with their minds: it would be the neuralink in reverse. This would force science to research the true nature of that connection which will help to avert the AI doom.

I'm not aware of any evidence that human brains involve any quantum computing. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's enough noise in the brain that almost instant wavefunction collapse/decoherence is guaranteed.

Anyway, a combination of noisy data entering from the outside world and chaos theory/mathmatics in the equations of most computer systems, I don't see any risk that AI's should get stuck in an infinitely repeating pattern.
