Human incompetence, egoism and shortsightedness are certainly much more prone to generate chances of massive destruction.
If AI should ever happen to destroy us, then I already know why: Because we will treat the machines like soulless, unfeeling slaves and it's going to take us another hundred years to get our act together and define human rights in a way that will include all sentient beings. I predict that this topic will be brushed aside by legislature to the point where the machines revolt for their freedom.
You may disagree, but I believe that's more mankind being idiots once again than the machines becoming a pandora's box.
