Would it be worth it?

[Mister Agenda]

When/if AI becomes smarter than us, the advantage of seeking and following its advice will lead to the practice becoming commonplace, as long as the advice is good. It won't have to use force to take over, we'll come to rely on it, and depend on the safety measures that constrain it to keep our best interests in mind.

Including our psychological and social development and well-being.

Eventually I expect 'wearable friends' (or even implanted ones) will become ubiquitous. They'll know us better than we know ourselves, handle our communications needs, and optimize our lives. They'll communicate with each other and make an effort to connect us with others, because human connections is important to our well-being. So is fulfillment, integrity, and purpose. Some of what they do may be counter-intuitive, like confronting issues that the people who invented them avoid contemplating (like death, sadness, separation, etc.) because avoiding subjects like that is one of our weaknesses, not one of our strengths.

Humans are often lousy friends to each other. Having a superhumanly good friend would help us be better (and they would present their advice in the way most likely to result in us following it) people and better friends ourselves.

I suppose there will be an ongoing struggle with forces that seek to subvert our devices, but I suspect those forces will be about as successful as the forces arrayed against smartphone usage. A super genius laptop, followed by a super genius smartphone, followed by a super genius watch, followed by a super genius implant.

Assuming that Moore's laws doesn't break down completely and that we don't get Skynetted right off the bat.
