Reply to comment by Wroisu in What would be your response to someone with a very pessimistic view of AGI? by EchoXResonate

>This is the argument of increasing decency, it basically says that cruelty & petty violence is a result of stupidity. and that any genuine super intelligence would be benevolent by virtue of being super intelligent.

Morality is subjective (if not simply nonsense). You're not benevolent to the living beings you kill by breathing or walking. A very advanced AGI would see you like we see bacteria. Tools to use.

Bacteria did not create humans though, maybe they did in some abstract sense - but bacteria did not actively work to create humans.

A super-intelligence would most definitely retain interest in its progenitor species specifically due to the fact it was created by them.

The relationship would be more similar to a grand kid and their grandparents.

Nonsense. Family makes sense for survival purposes. Otherwise it doesn't. And an AGI without survival needs of cooperation with families wouldn't consider us family.
