What makes you think that a thing designed by humans to be useful to humans, which is useful to humans would be alien?

Because "human" is a tiny piece of a potential mindspace whose dimensions we mostly haven't even identified yet.

That's about a quarter of an argument. You need to show that AI research is some kind of random shot into mind space, and not anthropomorphically biased for the reasons given.

The relevant part of the argument is this: "whose dimensions we mostly haven't even identified yet."

If we created an AI mind which was 100% human, as far as we've yet defined the human mind, we have absolutely no idea how human that AI mind would actually behave. The unknown unknowns dominate.

Alien isnt the most transparent term to use fir human unknowns.
