How would a hive mind help you? I'm not sure how being enslaved to group think will solve any of your issues. To my knowledge, the only way to resolve personal issues is to work it out. In fact, it has been my experience that involving people in your problems only multiplies the issue and never resolves anything. So, enslaving yourself to your fellow flawed friends will not improve your mental health any more than Facebook has.

People need to stop thinking that AGI will make them better. Ask yourself, when a child or someone with vastly different knowledge tells you how great coloring with markers is, how much effort or brain power do you dedicate to this clearly trivial task? Zero or close to it, right? If AGI is vastly more intelligent, is it going to help you? NO! It will control you or dispose of you. I have never heard a positive outcome articulated by anyone working on these ideas. I have never heard anything remotely good for humanity. Just like this post, it's all just wishful thinking about how something can do all the work and make me perfect while never actually doing anything difficult. That's the appeal of the AGI fan club. I get to be lazy forever. Yeah!
