You're right, but isn't this a needless distraction from the more important point, i.e. that it doesn't matter whether we humans find interesting or valueable what the (unfriendly-)AI does?

I dunno, I think this is a pretty entertaining instance of anthropomorphizing + generalizing from oneself. At least in the future, I'll be able to say things like "for example, Goertzel - a genuine AI researcher who has produced stuff - actually thinks that an intelligent AI can't be designed to have an all-consuming interest in something like pi, despite all the real-world humans who are obsessed with pi!"
