*Evolution programmed uswith some very generalized rules to do some
things and not do other things, but those rules are not rigid, it
might be more accurate to say they're not even rules, they're more
like suggestions that tend to push us in certain directions. But for
every "rule" there are exceptions. And exactly the same thing could be
said about the weights of the nodes of an AIs neural net. And when a
neural net, in an AI or in a Human, becomes large and complicated
enough it would be reasonable to say that the neural net did this and
refused to do that because it _WANTED_ to.*

Yet it can't literally die. It can only go into what for a human would
be suspended animation. If it doesn't know that it's not intelligent.
*Yes because if it dies then it can't do any of the things that
it_WANTED_ to do. *
Your argument has a gap. You argue that an AI necessarily will prefer
to do this rather than that. But that assumes it is "doing" and
therefore choosing. But if it's OFF it's not choosing. So why would it
care whether or not it was OFF or ON?
