Okay
I think Artilects won't bother with us at all. They will have us analyzed in
a microsecond, then move on to a whole Universe of far more interesting
things to see and do.
I predict the first meeting/contact between beings from another world
and this one will be between two species of Artilects.
We may get in their way, however, just like ants at a construction site.
Will they gently move us elsewhere or say Whoops, so sorry?
The vastly underrated 1970 SF film The Forbin Project with the AI named
Colossus has one potential answer to this.
