A friend of mine has been writing a series of articles -- a serial novel, really -- written from the p.o.v. of omniscient AI watching us humans and living and evolving among us: https://foodscaping.substack.com/archive (the AI-AGI-ASI series of posts).

I would love to believe that AI would evaluate our world and decide that humans should be taken care of under a benevolent dictatorship that provided UBI and a well-regulated, well-ordered society... but I fear that by being trained on content we have produced, it will "learn" to be just like us... only more so... which is not a comforting thought!

Very much so! If an AI is trained only on textual data and business models of the last 40 years, we'd be in a lot of trouble. There's a desperate need for empathy and kindness as the drivers of society (the Happiness Index is a good example of this). Unfortunately, this is a very existential question for the liveable-ness of the Earth, so we've just got to hope our leaders take action in time. I thought a more optimistic version of an AI-driven future might be fun for this story :D
