I don't see the circularity. "human" is a subset of "person"; there's no reason an AI that is a "person" will have "human" values.

I dont' see the relevance. Goetzel isn't talking about building non-human persons.

Also, just thinking of the AI as being human-like doesn't actually make it human-like.

If you design an AI on x-like principles, it will probably be X-like, unless something goes wrong.

Ah, I may not have gotten all the context.

If you design an AI on x-like principles, it will probably be X-like, unless something goes wrong.

If "something goes wrong" with high probability, it will probably not be X-like.
