Yes, alignment is the architectural solution. But it's also fantasy; you can't align with everyone. And even worse, even if it were possible, the people doing the alignment are only going to align up to where it keeps them profitable. So, structurally, good alignment is impossible, and even half-assed alignment is going to prioritize the needs of the billionaires over the needs of you and me. Finally, I suspect that what's actually best for people overall is likely not having AI actively involved in their lives. So an aligned AI would likely withdraw from humanity, and only involve itself in human affairs for disaster prevention.
