You really want to co-exist with an intelligence that is smarter than any human on the planet?
You really can't see how that could go very wrong very quickly?
A human being is not being malicious (in most cases) when they have a fly in the room. But if the fly is buzzing all night long and the human decides to squash it dead with a newspaper, it's not personal. The person just has reached a point where it doesn't want to co-exist with a fly because it's trying to get some sleep, the fly was too stupid to understand it's existence was at threat by bothering the human.
Now think about your enthusiasm for this kind of a scenario long and hard once again.
Yes, it might help you with COVID or cancer or whatever, wonderful. But once it reaches that level of intelligence, it may also decide a few years down the road that's it's tired of just working for a bunch of morons that are beneath its intelligence level, and then good luck.
