Maybe she cares about other things besides paperclips, including the innate desire to be able to name a single, simple and explicit purpose in life.
This is not supposed to be about non-human AGI paperclip maximisers.
It seems to me that the subject of your narrative has a single, simple and explicit purpose in life; she is after all a paperclip maximizer. I suspect that (outside of your narrative) one key thing that separates us natural GIs from AGIs is that we don't have a "single, simple and explicit purpose in life", and that, I suspect, is a good thing.
