I think "AIs make paperclips" has probably obtained more audience than all of my other conceptual originations combined. I guess it's not very surprising that it's an invention that had the potential for easy misunderstanding, and that it's the misunderstanding that spread.

So what you had in mind is that the AI is told to "maximize happiness"; except that for some reason it concludes that happiness is correlated to paperclips, and since it's the best cost-effect ratio it goes on making paperclips at full speed?

No. I have in mind that alignment is hard, that most of the work consists in lining up internal systems that target any goal whatever in a way that remains stable when scaled up to superintelligence, and what the researchers want is simply uncorrelated with the outcome.
