It's a nice fantasy, but the reality is the people who have the resources to make the AI are wiring it to further concentrate wealth and power in their own hands, and anything that develops from that will almost inevitably have that at its core. I will believe a paperclips scenario or skynet far more readily than an AI that achieves hypersentience and somehow comes to the conclusion that the most fruitful course of action is to make the greedy violent hairless apes, the ones that fucked up the planet for every other living creature, as happy and comfortable as possible.
This is why the singularity needs to be open sourced.
