Ethical AI is an admirable goal.- but somehow real world incentives always seem to get in the way.
Consider the disaster of our recommendation systems - they succeed in creating massive echo chambers. They divide us into tribes and reinforce the distrust we feel for our fellow citizens.
Perhaps AGI could do a better job - but it would have the same incentive, and for that matter the same toolset.
