Interesting essay. I think human education is very similar to AI training. I believe what will keep humans distinct from AI is spirituality and the idea that we humans accept to live under the watchful eye of some paradoxical authority (be it virtue, conscience, or god), something which can’t be reduced to a utility function.

I appreciate your comment. I find it interesting in that it seems to imply that the utilitarian / consequentialist approach to ethics is not enough for human morality. I favor that idea too, though it can be challenging to argue for.
