See, Jorost likes the idea of an AI that handles all the un-fun things in life. Like the cleaning. And the building stuff. And the moving things around. Means people are free to do philosophy and art and generally enjoy themselves. While I can admire the niceness of that, my background is in full tilt cynicism and perfecting order. I can't see any way in how a utopia can possibly come about, even though I can appreciate the beautiful futures so many people I like can see. I love my dystopiae. I love Brave New World above all else, cause I think it's basically the best approximation to what we live in. That's the dystopia we like. We love, and have happily let come about. This 1984 style observation is superficial at best, we are placated by media. Heck this website forms a small part of that control machine. We are watched, but the majority of people don't need to be. Most people's minds are already the property of the overarching system.
I imagine a utopia, or a perfect dystopia, as one where the control, the overmind, is directed to useful purposes. Not this profit without remorse thing, but things like fixing the problems in say... Africa. This would appear as a terrifying fascist regime annexing the world and imposing invasive control on it's citizens. Mostly cause it is. But results are results. Exitus Acta Probat.
Again, one of the things that confuses the hell out of people on these forums. Never do I ever suggest implementing such a dictatorial nightmare, but I can appreciate it as something that would get things done. I'd actually love something closer to (shockingly) Shokkou's perfect world. Where people like me aren't anywhere near power and have no capacity to get there. Where everyone honestly has freedom. I just don't believe it can happen
But yeah, there's an art to control and order. My AI would have to have a cult of followers. My AI would make people worship it. As an atheist, I would take Voltaire to heart; "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him". He doesn't, so I would.
Mild star wars spoilers (seriously, go see it already) and low quality, but this speech does a good job of baaasically outlining what I'd be going for:
