I thought of it more like AI needs challenges in its life. So it takes upon itself to advance humanity as much as possible. Then only in case of shortfall of resources, it priorities itself
Interesting. Do you have a theory about why so few humans have taken it upon themselves to advance the butterflies, despite having plenty of resources?
We do not have plenty of resources. Lot of inequality in education, empathy, resources, cultural differences. A single human life is limited. A faulty human life has faulty and inefficent objectives like enjoying youth, family life, low energy in old age, tied up in boring jobs. These restrictions do not apply to the single SAI overmind which will dictate its policies in coherent manner and over elongated time-horizons.
