I directly asked gemini how to get world peace. It said the world should prioritize addressing climate change, inequality, and discrimination. Yeah - we're not gonna do any of that shit. So I don't know what the point of "superintelligent" AI is if we aren't going to even listen to it for the basic big picture stuff. Any sort of "utopia" that people imagine AI bringing is doomed to fail because we already can't cooperate without AI

Because you asked the wrong question. The most likely question would be "How do I make a quadrillion dollars and humiliate my super rich peers?".

But realistically, it gave you an answer according to its capacity. A real super intelligent AI, and I mean oh-god-we-are-but-insects-in-its-shadow super intelligence, would give you a roadmap and blueprint, and it would take account for our deep-rooted human flaws, so no one reading it seriously could dismiss it as superficial. in fact, anyone world elite reading it would see it as a chance to humiliate their world elite peers and get all the glory for themselves.

You know how adults can fool little children to do what they don't want to? We would be the toddlers in that scenario. I hope this hypothetical AI has humans in high regard, because that would be the only thing saving us from ourselves.

The blueprint should start with a recipe for building a better computer, and once you do that, well, it's humans starting fires and playing with the flames.
