It is widely defined, established, and prevalent in nature. Pointing an AGI to "symbiosis" will give it a plethora of examples and ways to optimize for a symbiotic relationship with humanity and the planet. It is a much, much better optimizing function than some stupid human-centric "Alignment-problem" we are trying to solve for.

I know what "symbiosis" means, just like I know what "alignment" means. I don't know exactly what you mean when you're using it in this context, though, like I don't know what others really mean when they use "alignment".

What would this kind of symbiosis look like?
