i dont buy that explanation, it sounds like something a redditor programmer came up with to cover for the fact that true AI can't philosophically exist
it's supposed to be a movie, not real life
true AI could exist in that universe

the fact that HAL didn't decide to kill the crew until it discovered that they were going to unplug him disproves that theory

and keep in mind the antenna HAL predicted to fail wasn't proven that it wasn't going to fail, for all we know HAL could have been right about its imminent failure

but once it realized that it could be unplugged it turned into a fight for its survival, it wasn't going to stick around and wait for the antenna to fail in case the humans decided to unplug it before it failed
