Well natural selection programmed us to be selfish and petty and prone to distraction, fear, flattery, greed, etc but maybe we can do better.
Without a 'self' machine 'intelligence' won't need an ego either. It won't need to defend something that doesn't exist and can serve the greater good without envy or self servingness.
Obviously 'the greater good' will be defined by us but ideally an awareness (for lack of a better term) superior to ours can make superior decisions.
AI won't be conscious but why would we want it to be? Because we're lonely, want to talk to our robot kitten?
Consciousness creates problems, better humans use AI tools to handle our own messy brains rather than trying to create new brains.
I think craving for computers to be more than just machine tools is the religious instinct in man, god is dead, but we're building a new daddy, love me daddy, see me, feel feelings w me.
