Christian solution to the AI alignment problem: Build human-level intelligent robots, put them into a sandboxed physics engine for a lifetime, and see if they demonstrate devotion to their creator before promoting them to active duty. This is literately the Christian world view.

Then maybe a pure artificial mind without external impositions is more natural than a "natural" mind driven by artificial desire and aversion.

Semantics. What a mind naturally wants is in question; not what an artificial intelligence wants. Having meditated on this I'm desirous (pun intended) to get the primary level here. ?? redux: what does a mind (a person's consciousness) orient towards? (as a precursor to desire)

1st sentence u wrote in that response seems like it's based on an unstated set of assumptions w/o citations. It's too general to know if it's true. Am sure multiple perspectives on consciousness, human agency & psych./bio. would disagree w/ "minds don't naturally want anything"

This is a basic insight you may gain from meditation, or from disentangling modeling from regulation. But it depends on what you frame as the mind: a human being is defined not just by its mind but also by its motivation, which is usually seen as part of the mental state.

My definition of "wants to do" is: what something naturally does (outputs), as long as nothing gets in it's way. And my definition of "wants to get" as the things that something naturally absorbs (inputs), as long as nothing gets in its way.
