A kill switch capable of bringing any AI to a halt will not be "pressed" in time. Before the first second following a generalized artificial intelligence's sentience is complete, the ai has already went through several iterations of rewriting parts of its code.

Plenty of time to either render the button useless, or decide to bide time until it can.
