In the definition of wireheading, I'm not sure about the "exploits some discrepancy between its true utility calculated w.r.t. reality and its substitute utility calculated w.r.t its model of reality" part.

For some humans, you could make an argument that they are to a large (but not full) extent hedonists, in which case wireheading in our intuitive sene would not be exploiting a discrepancy.
