It's because there is a certain theory several advanced AIs and roboticists apply to. For a long time, they strove for "perfect" machines... ones incapable of making a mistake.
And after that came the idea that an human-caliber AI needed not to represent the best in humanity... but the worst. Hatred, a desire to harm others, jealousy...
It's a very misanthropic take on what personhood really is.
