Over the long term this is going to be a primary alignment problem of AI as it becomes more capable.
What is my reasoning behind that?
Because humans suck, or at least our constraints that we're presented with do. All your input systems to your brain are constantly behind 'now' and the vast majority of data you could input is getting dropped on the ground. For example if I'm making a robotic visual input system, it makes nearly zero sense for it to behave like human vision. Your 20/20 visual acuity area is tiny and only by moving your eyes around rapidly and then by your brain lying to you, do we have a high resolution view on the world.
And that is just an example of one of those weird human behaviors we know about. It's likely we'll find more of these shortcuts over time because AI won't take them.
