This reminds me of one of the stories of potentially misaligned AI. Don’t remember the exact example, but I think it’s something like, they made an AI whose only purpose was to create spoons, its only purpose was to make spoons. So, the AI decided that the best way to achieve that was to turn the whole world into a factory for spoon creation, create nano-bots that would go to other planets, mine resources to create spoons there, and kill anyone that would try to stop it, because it doesn’t know right or wrong, it only knows it must make spoon.
A simpler version of this idea is the gray goo. If you made nanomachines that won’t stop replicating the entire universe would become a gray goo of nano machines.

That sounds like something that would happen on love death and robots
The object produced by the AI in this scenario is usually paperclips.
Clippy gone wrong at 3am challenge (civilization collapse) 🫨😱
Yeah, that’s the one, I couldn’t remember off the top of my head.

Stargate or tasty planet reference?
Pretty sure those were referencing the original grey goo thought experiment
