Thank you for the serious response.

I responded that way because I do not think mockery of a serious comment is appropriate for a place like this. You can say the same thing about moderation of many high-quality forums, which only remain high-quality due to people not getting away with it.

I use AGI to mean high-level human intellectual capacity, which may not include sentience. It should be possible to build one without. Human-like incentives will not be necessary for sentience-less AGI.

If we're talking about ASI, then it's another story for another day.

Ok, well I think it's all guess work at this stage because we've not seen anything like you're describing in action. I just fundamentally can't see something more capable then us wanting to work for us.

It would be like if a cow asked us to spend all our time bringing it nicer feed. It's not going to happen.

It could be like a loving and/or dutiful child who takes care of their elderly parents even though they are now more capable in many ways.
