Except that, when true AGI arrives, we're all obsolete and the only things that will have any value are certain nonrenewable resources. No one has described a good solution for the economic nightmare that will ensue.
I always wonder how insanely complex, universal, abstract-thinking AND physically strong & agile biorobots, running on basically sugar and atp would be seen as „worthless” by a runaway higher intelligence.
Did I mention they self-replicate and self-service?
Surely, seven billion of such agents would be discarded and put to waste.
If an AGI start putting utility value on human life, wouldn't it try to influence human reproduction and select for what it value. ie. Explicit eugenism.
Yes, all humans will not be put to waste, but what tells you they will be well-treated, or value what you currently value.
