AI alignment to humans will in practice avoid moral catastrophes to animals
Since most humans don’t care much about animal welfare, I don’t think human-aligned AI will either. If AI shares society’s preference for increasing wild animal populations, I’d also be worried about that occurring on a galactic scale without consideration of the moral implications.
The reasons why I’m not even more bearish come down to expecting AI to accelerate cultivated meat development, which should substantially reduce the number of farmed animals per human.
