Given that we're scared about non-FAI, I wonder if this cartesianism can't be a benefit, as it presumably substantially limits the power of the AI. Boxing an AI should be easier if the AI cannot conceive that the box would be a problem for it.
I would be interested in hearing people argue in both directions.
It probably is a benefit, up until the AI is smart enough to smash the box or itself accidentally.
