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

Did you expect some answer that decried world peace as impossible ? It's just repeating what people say [0] when asked the same question. That's all that a large language model can do (other than putting it to rhyme or 'in the style of Charles Dickens').

If you are looking for a vision of general AI that confirms a Hobbsian worldview, you might enjoy Lars Doucet's short story, _Four Magic Words_.
