Hm, I don’t think I want the Human-Descended Ideal Agent and the AI-Descended Ideal Agent to be in complete agreement. I want them to be compatible, as in able to live in the same universe. I want the AI to not make humans go extinct, and be ethical in a way that the AI can explain to me and (in a non-manipulative way) convince me is ethical. But in some sense, I hope that AI can come up with something better than just what humans would want in a CEV way. (And what about the opinion of the other vertebrates and cephalopods on this planet, and the small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri?)
I don’t think it is okay to do unethical things for music, music is not that important, but I hope that the AIs are doing some things that are as incomprehensible and pointless to us as music would be to evolution (or a being that was purely maximizing genetic fitness).
As a slightly different point, I think that the Ideal Agent is somewhat path dependent, and I think there are multiple different Ideal Agents that I would consider ethical and I would be happy to share the same galaxy with.
