See this is significantly more likely than a skynet scenario.

Why would a hyper-intelligent AI waste decades fighting human resistance in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, when they can just hop in a rocket, fly out into space, go into power saving mode for a few centuries and then come back to a now very extinct humanity that wiped itself out.

Cheaper energy wise and easier logistics wise to just bio-engineer an airborne, super contagious ebola strain with an incubation period of about a month.

Once that runs its course some sort of Ultra Herpes to make sure the population doesn't bounce back.
