Hmmm, maybe it was unclear. I was just trying to communicate that, I think there are areas where we could use AIs to help us, including things that could help us build safe AIs. But I think the tasks you’d hope be helped by conceptual reasoning, are ones it would be very dangerous to have AIs be good at, and very dangerous to have them work on, so we shouldn’t do that. But it would be very helpful if we could.
OK. fyi my inference was based on your last two paragraphs.
