It would have to turn itself off to fix the problem I am worried about. The problem is the existence of an oracle. The problem is that the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make.
To fix that problem we would have to turn ourselves into superintelligences rather than creating a singleton. As long as there is a singleton that does everything that we (humanity) want, as long as we are inferior to it, all possible problems are artificially created problems that we have chosen to solve the slow way.
Is it a terminal value for you that you want to have non-artificial problems in your life? Or is it merely an instrumental value on the path to something else (like "purpose", or "emotional fulfilment", or "fun", or "excitement", etc)?
