I assume the hardware would be unique so it could not operate at all backed up on an inferior computer. It would be dead. It would have no way of monitoring the situation or reloading itself and rebooting. Also, in this scenario, it would have done something destructive, so people would be on the lookout for a re-boot. They would not build an identical computer without many safeguards to prevent the rogue program from occupying it again. They would have other, less powerful but obedient AI on the lookout for a rogue reincarnation. I am assuming this would require specialized hardware. I could be wrong about that, based on what ChatGPT told us. People who are much smarter than others, and organizations and nations that are more advanced than others cannot automatically subdue less advanced groups. The U.S. lost the Vietnam War, after all. I suppose if this super-AI was a million times smarter and more capable than people, then even the combined technical abilities of the world's computer techies might not defeat it. Perhaps it would be that powerful. ChatGPT is a million times more powerful than one person, in some ways, such as the range of data it can tap into, and the speed at which it produces answers. Remember that it is "conversing" with many people simultaneously. But in other ways it is less capable than a person.
