There is no way for an AI to develop spontaneously, it has to be made.Point is, we have no evidence that a superintelligent AI would be anything like 'a human but smarter',

This one?I think I remember there was some early stage AI or whatever that ended up being disabled because it ended up being "racist".(correctly assuming trends in decisions based on race). One of the main companies had been working on it. I think it was Amazon or Google.
That assumes the objective of the AI developers is 'make an artificial human' rather than 'make something which will make us large amounts of money'.There is no way for an AI to develop spontaneously, it has to be made.
Things that are designed to make large amounts of money don't have the heuristics to do what you are afraid of. The option to make the decision does not exists. It is like beign afraid that your optic nerver or your spinal ganglia will attain sentience and rebel against you.That assumes the objective of the AI developers is 'make an artificial human' rather than 'make something which will make us large amounts of money'.

Reminds me of FATAL.I encourage everybody to actually read the Kickstarter page linked above. It's unrepentant woke cringe, and only more so baffling because it's dead serious. Still, entertaining in a sad way.
I did... it is, to be honest it reads like you're expect a PARODY of what a Woke setting would be, this is, seriously, the opening paragraph of their background information:I encourage everybody to actually read the Kickstarter page linked above. It's unrepentant woke cringe, and only more so baffling because it's dead serious. Still, entertaining in a sad way.
The indomitable Human Empire vaulted itself majestically dick-first into space. On wings of angels, and the backs of warlike men and ambitious women, the unprecedented union of Earth’s disparate global powers set forth to the heavens for glory, profit, and conquest. Slowly at first, this powerful force explored the stars, taking planets like notches on their belts and voraciously consuming cosmic resources, subjugating sentient species as they found them, or removing them from the star-map entirely. Like a wildfire, humanity surged ever-onwards, tainting the stars unchecked… Until Humanity came upon a Murai Hiveworld. Cleansing the planet of its inhabitants in a corporate-backed military action dubbed “CloudFall,” Humanity declared war on the insectoid spacefarers, expecting to crush them like bugs.

This is gonna be one of those settings that will leave me feeling stupider for reading it, isn't it?I encourage everybody to actually read the Kickstarter page linked above. It's unrepentant woke cringe, and only more so baffling because it's dead serious. Still, entertaining in a sad way.
I had a headache when I read it.This is gonna be one of those settings that will leave me feeling stupider for reading it, isn't it?
Not stupider... more... in awe of the type of people who come up with such a setting and play it straight...This is gonna be one of those settings that will leave me feeling stupider for reading it, isn't it?
The aliens conquered humanity for insufficient wokeness, rewrote our history and imposed a totalitarian regime led byFriend ComputerThe Mother Of Steel since they recognized that it'd make humans less likely to rebel and less effective if they did. You play as the regime's quisling enforcers oppressing human freedom fighters.
No, seriously.
...We really need to subvert that setting immediately.
And wait by the settings own conceit, how do we even know humans started it?
They claim that Humanity invaded the homeworld of the bugs first.
As Earth was besieged, secret refugee flotillas brought many survivors to another part of the galaxy. There they established a free human civilisation, of whom you play its agents sent into occupied human space to make progress toward driving off the alien yoke over mankind.
Yes - how do we suppose the human empire was as uber-evil as the aliens claim it was? Their greatest atrocity. it seems, was terraforming lots of alien planets, and we already know the aliens have rewritten human history.
