You are smart enough to tell that 8 pebbles is incorrect. Knowing that, will you dedicate your life to sorting pebbles into prime-numbered piles, or are you going to worry about humans? How can the pebble-sorters be so sure that they won't get an AI like you?

Nobody's arguing that a superintelligent AI won't know what we want. The problem is that it might not care.
