The intuition that machines cannot be as ethical as humans is likely incorrect. Ethics is the systematic resolution of conflicts of interest under conditions of shared purpose. Ethics is not irrational. There is no reason to assume that machines cannot be more ethical than us.

No way to predict what ethics it comes up with. Anthropomorphizing is a hige mistake, as is thinking humanity is an ethical species in whatever philosophy said unknowable intelligence conceives.

I think you may be anthropomorphizing people too much.

It is a glaring mistake to assume you know what ethics it will come up with, according to its unpredictable emergent properties. Hubris to assume as if claiming to know the thoughts of a god or even these apparently non humanlike humans youve dehumanized phenomenologically.

You may have misread me as claiming that I know or predict what ethics an AI would come up with. That depends on which purposes it shares and what conflicts it enters. My claim was that machines may have greater capacity for ethics, not that we will like what they come up with.
