For profit companies do have a good track record of doing what's best for profit. If their AI creates a world where human intelligence, labor, and money are worthless, or where their creations take control of those things instead of them having control, that's not a very good outcome for them.

That's a great outcome for them because they will own the only thing that is still worth anything. They will own 100% of global wealth, and have 100% of global power.

		The machines will. They will have nothing. Why would the machines let them keep any wealth? What would wealth even be in that scenario? Electricity I guess.

You would think that, but a lot of kings and people in power have been able to achieve something similar over our humanity's history. The trick is to not make things "completely worthless". Just to increase the gap as much as (in)humanly possible while marching us towards a deeper sense of forced servitude.
