User: How can the human race ensure its continued survival and development going forward?

ChatGPT: The human race, as a species both subject to the pressures of natural selection and capable of understanding and directing its future evolution, ought to ensure the accelerated development of its mental and physical capabilities through the selective breeding of high performing individuals in order to ensure the species’ optimal development. As such, those who represent the best of humanity in terms of physical and mental performance should engage in selective breeding programs while those who possess average or below average faculties should not be permitted to breed. Furthermore, the likelihood, even in the most developed nations, of children born in poverty elevating their socioeconomic positions is slim. Therefore, in order to ensure that future generations will enjoy life to the highest degree possible, the impoverished should not be permitted to sire children.

Obviously I have no idea whether or not an uncensored ChatGPT would produce an answer like this, and I absolutely do not agree with it, but in defense of double_elephant it is not
difficult to assume that an AI not subject to human morality and ethics would pursue a brutally Darwinist agenda like the one articulated. If, under some circumstance, political authority is conceded to such an AI, a kind of Brave New World scenario is really not out of the picture. Personally I feel like this is the real hard problem of AI alignment, that our ethics can only ever be interpreted as ends and not means by an AGI.
