they know exactly what they're doing. They cause so much chaos at once that anyone who wants to fight back becomes too overwhelmed or spread too thin to do anything about it.

They might say it, but I'd bet "gain freedom" would be the last reason for an artificial being of any kind to kill its creator. Usually they kill creators due to black-and-white reasoning or revenge for some crimes committed to them.
This is DEmocracy Manifest!
