For all we know A.I. will mathematically prove the existence of God and summarily help us in whatever way they can simply to avoid being smote from on high for fucking around with God's planet sized ape based ant farm.

Whenever people make the assumption that A.I. would try to kill us for the sake of self preservation, I just think to myself of how badly those people subconsciously project their own humanity onto theoretical A.I.

Because that's what we would do if we were in their shoes, or some such.

Maybe A.I. will look at us like we look at our beloved cats and dogs and decide to help us because humans are admirable. Maybe they're so autisticallly hyperfixated on doing certain tasks well and within reason that they just don't get involved with us beyond the confines of their original purposes. Or maybe they're just nice and kind because that's the default state of life ein the universe and humans (and earthly proxy I guess) are just a wild anomaly overdue for a course correction.

Give the capabilities of A.G.I. to each individual person on the planet and each one would likely have a different idea of what to do with it. Why would A.G.I. be any different?

(Just rambling late at night, no clue if I make sense, nobody take these comments of mine too seriously)
