Well if it was truly friendly, it could do things like stop other people from doing that, cure your diseases, stop war, etc, etc. If it's not friendly, well of course we don't want to switch it on. But other people might do so because they don't understand the friendliness problem or the difficulty of AI boxing.

Most people would not want to do that, because it is a common safety principle to keep humans in the loop. Planes have human pilots as well as auto pilots, etc.
