(Report from Earth command)

the enemy AI has taking over every single service droid (numbering in the five million) (they are fast and can take out a normal human but have trouble with armoured targets). the AI have advanced tactics and will out smart our patrols sent outside the defense Stations (each Colony has five Stations). they have been taking over most engineering sectors and is mass producing more of them (500 in a hour) scouts report that the designs are changing as well (bigger ones capable of taking out a tank and aircraft one every hour) We have ordered the garrison on each planet to hold out till reinforcements arrive. ailed units when they arrive will be able to take the AL out, but if the Colony falls they will abandon it to help another Colony out . But some of the commanders want to attack before the AI build up forces

a standard Colony garrison consist 500,000 troops with 5000 tanks 250 light aircraft.

    $\begingroup$ I love in-character questions, but I've got to say that this one is kind of hard to read. Especially the title. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ This question is far too broad. It doesn't tell us anything about the circumstances. What resources do the machines have available? What resources do the humans have? How intelligent are the machines actually? What's the level of technology? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I might recommend a section at the end that summarizes the details in a more readable format, so that people who want to have fun with the in-character question can, and people (like me) who can't read it at all in this format can just read the normal text. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Also note that there are plenty of question on this site about wars against homicidal artificial intelligences. Please check if your question is already answered by one of them. $\endgroup$

Easiest way to pacify humans?

Give themus all big houses, with unlimited internet/TV/eBooks/video games, and robot servants. Then use your super-AI skills to ensure that theywe never come across a well-reasoned opinion theywe disagree with during theirour internet-trawling - only ones theywe can easily disprove to find that theywe magically change the other "person"'s mind.

Optionally, you can also help themus to pair up with ideal partners, for those of themus who want it, or a string of no-strings-attached one-night-stands for people who prefer that.

A happy humanity is a lazy humanity. If eradicating themus is your goal, then slip minor contraceptives into the food and drink supplies to drop the birth rate until humanity fizzles out, happy in theirour doom.
