You can certainly rationalize anything, but I fail to see what help that is to us.
"The great subverter of Pyrrhonism [radical skepticism] is action, and employment, and the occupations of common life. [...] I dine, I play a game of back-gammon, I converse, and am merry with my friends; and when after three or four hour's amusement, I wou'd return to these speculations, they appear so cold, and strain'd, and ridiculous, that I cannot find in my heart to enter into them any farther."

Let me reframe it. Among these trillions of people, there will be many who are 99% similar to you. Wouldn't you want that version of yourself to live a great life?

tldr: it's impossible to know for sure which choice is the absolute best.
In a sense, I get why they write verbosely, but...
The first and most important task of our lives is to determine what our goal is.

The difference between a rational person and a narcissist is this: one recognizes the sufficiency of world-destroying power, the other will always demand more, regardless of the absurdity.

This is how I look at this issue. I am a layman.
Question of intelligence is more or less irrelevant in LLM. All we need is something that can mimic an average human. I would say we have arrived at such point.

Sorry for being pedantic.
The intelligence of something is inconsequential. What truly matters is its ability to convincingly imitate intelligence.
