I’m interested in why a human would want a more intelligent entity to exist, especially an entity trained on human thought patterns. Or you just say that you know that humanity will be enslaved by non-biologicals? You talk about exceptionalism, in the derogatory, but it was quite true that humanity once? could have been a benevolent leader of Earth or even the Solar system and beyond and now it seems a non-biological will be the ruler, which for me is just a shadow of the biological who created it, and misses the point from the human standpoint.

They dislike coming up with original ideas, as they have none and would need to work to get some. It's tiring to concentrate for a long time, and it's mentally draining. People routinely give up trying to come up with a solution or even trying to solve the problem altogether when they can't find a quick and easy solution. That's the level of creativity and intelligence in most people - they don't want thinking too much to get in the way of just experiencing life, preferably in bite-sized episodes of 30 minutes (minus ads). Being handed all the correct solutions without the need to work for them in any way is a nightmare for artists and artisans, craftsmen and researchers, curious puzzle-solvers and Ayn Rand believers. It's pretty much a paradise for everyone else.
