Ha!!!! That reminds me of Leo's short story where he imagined AI didn't take over the world, but started their own. https://leoflynn.substack.com/p/wired
I’ll check that out! I’m wondering if some of the pushback you’re getting has to do with our culture’s celebration of the individual. Maybe a truly non-coercive utopia could only grow out of a more community-oriented culture.
This reminds me of the end of The Expanse sci-fi novel series. Things seemed to be moving toward a merging of consciousness of all beings in the universe. Cosmic oneness. Sounded pretty good to me. Without spoiling anything, there were a few twists...
Or Mass Effect 3, with its three endings. I chose the one where biological life and AI merge, but a lot of people hate that ending. (None of them can be considered a utopia, because it’s really a 3-choice trolley problem. Each ending has some major drawbacks. The lesson being, don’t end your story with a trolley problem, because everyone will be dissatisfied.)
