I question the claim that humans inherently need privacy from their loving gods. A lot of Christians seem happy enough without it, and I’ve heard most forager societies have a lot less privacy than ours, heck, most rural villages have a lot less privacy than most of us would be used to (because everyone knows you and talks about you).
The intensive, probably unnatural levels of privacy we’re used to in our nucleated families, our cities, our internet, might not really lead to a general increase in wellbeing overall, and seems implicated in many pathologies of isolation and coordination problems.
Yeah, I think if the village had truly deeply understood them they would not want to leave it. The problem is the part where they’re not really able to understand part.

A lot of people who have moved to cities from such places seem to mention this as exactly the reason why they wanted out.
That said, this is often because the others are judgmental etc., which wouldn’t need to be the case with an AGI.
(biased sample though?)
