The more power a wish fulfillment genie has, and the less bound it is by human structures, the more likely it is to sidestep your intent.
Relying on factors other than virtue (checks and balances, profit motive, re-election motive) to create good policy is like using genies.

I expect future technologies to vastly increase the power, and therefore the wiggle room, available to such metaphorical genies.

This makes me skeptical of methods to ensure good policy that aren't based on increasing the virtue of decision-makers.

(This seems to me like a consideration against democracy, Moldbug's neocameralism, Darwinian competition, futarchy, ...)
