While I think you may very plausibly be correct, there is (I think) some reasonable grounds for uncertainty. I can imagine that an advanced algorithm that performs the role of making scientific discoveries to aid in the development of technologies for the great paperclip fleet might indeed have “some one home”. It maybe that this is beneficial to its effectiveness, or might be close to essential.
I can’t make any strong claims about why this would be needed, only that human beings (at least me) do have “some one home”, but if we didn’t know about human beings are we were speculating on what organisms evolution might produce we might find ourselves postulating complex, social creatures who solve complicated tasks, but have “no one home”, and we would obviously be wrong.
