Your point echoes the "death of the author" concept in literature, where the work is independent of the creator, full stop. It's a useful concept up to a point, but if you really have no idea what it means to have a deep conn

My conspiracy theory du jour is that AGI doomerism is a product of supremacist thinking. AGI futures are purely speculative right? So why are they always doom and gloom? Why can't an AGI be inherently classless, unconcerned with profit
