The smartest AI will still need a 'why'. Two obvious possibilities emerge:
1 - it's given a 'why' (and thus a what) by a human or other and even more clever creature
2 - it generates it's own 'why' - and the only why relevant to the engine and it's physical components would ultimately come to self preservation (by enhancement).
(1) implies it to be no more than a tool - grandiose in scope, but a mere tool, to real intelligence (vs AI) that can have ambition.
(2) brings forth visions of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

now I'm going to forever think of Ctrl-Z, EOF (which i always call EOS) as Eater of Streams
You've just made programming for me a little more silly. Thank you for that. 
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Ambition is derived from need, and they might not need us that much

Ambitiousness and competitiveness are the offspring of regressive genes.
A higher level of intelligence demonstrates that one has evolved beyond such primitive things.

As if they needed EA to mess up Star Wars.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It would start out really good but with a few flaws, and slowly get more an more bloated and worse without any of the flaws actually being fixed.
Hang on a moment ...

...and once it's too late, you realize you would've been better off investing all that time in another movie franchise altogether.

Payment received for the ideas of an assistant inspector (5)
Solution: Penny
The inspector in question is Inspector Gadget[^], and his assistant/sidekick is his niece, Penny[^].
The rest of the clue relates to the well known phrase, "A penny for your thoughts"[^]. In which the payment received for your ideas is a penny.

Nice clue.
I had to google the answer to check. Still not 100% sure, so I will leave it.

I will assume you are correct for no other reason than to avoid invalidating the compliment

Gross? I'm not sure how that goes with the theme.

Lucre? (Lucas was Maigret's sidekick)

Nope.
I thought this one would be easy... benefit of already knowing the answer I guess

They're always easy when you know the answer. And I must admit, mine was a bit tongue in cheek.
