Interesting. Though I don’t think I want Utopia.

What if my Utopia is Utopia not existing? I find out the truth and decide that a world governed essentially by AGI’s is not desirable?

One AGI kindly tells you, look, the AGI’s aren’t running everything. It’s a pure libertarian world, which is by no means a utopia. It’s just a less violent system than anything else humans came up with before. The AGI’s play a role comparable to the one previously played by nation state actors. Some AGI’s are effectively benevolent dictators and others are merely skilled politicians. The global order is a purely emergent phenomenon; nobody is in charge, and evolution-like dynamics mean that AGI’s are half-competing, half cooperating.
