There's a few ways "advanced ai" could go.
"Destroy and utilize all life on Earth, and utilize resources until its own extinction" would be the bad ending.
"Preserve the biomass of the Earth, exit to the stars, starting with the Moon and colonize the Solar System with AI civilizations and treat some humans as zoo animals" eh, some people would be OK with that
"Help humanity preserve the Earth and help them colonize the Stars, starting with Mars" this would be an OK ending, but smacks of Star Trek idealism.
Regardless of the ending; ai would still be dependent on resources, and it cannot violate known physics and quantum mechanics, so will be forever limited to that unlike human imagination, actually, true intelligence could require having an imagination that violates physics and quantum mechanics...
Edit; they're still gonna be limited by the knowledge and the same data available to humans and they may not be able to conceptualize esoteric ideas and abstract thinking for quite a while until AI can start real, honest thinking and emotional reactions.
