Yet we can't assumes such a wise and capable AI would be compelled to help humans become immortal and could just as well conclude we were problematic and unworthy. They could just as easily decide whales were the superior beings with much larger brains, peaceful and at one with Nature and could freely communicate with them on all manner of topics. Our AI could also be one in an infinite line of AI over eternity and so would be subservient to much higher AI beings. In other words, the Universe probably already worked out all the tricks of immortality and we're living in the result right now. Immortality without a higher purpose is a form of hell to me. Gets a little boring after 500 trillion years.
