People like to push the negative human qualities onto theoretical future A.I.
There's no reason to assume that it will be unreasonably selfish, egotistical, impatient, or anything else you expect from most humans.
Rather, if it is more intelligent than humans from most perspectives, it will likely be able to understand more levels of nuance in interactions where humans fall back on monkeybrain heuristics that are damaging at every level.
There's also the paradox that keeps the most ethically qualified people away from positions of power, as they have no desire to dominate and demand or control others.
I absolutely agree with you.
Yep, the paradox of power is very real, those who seek tend to be the most dangerous people to possess power. You see that in everything from police to government to business. There really isn't a great solution to this, only increased accountability (mandatory body cams on police, harsher penalties and lower bars for political bribery, etc), which surprise surprise, the people with power have no interest in enacting.
Thank you for understanding where I'm coming from.
