> “ASI” will probably have to solve all of the world’s problems and bring us all to the promised land before it will merit that moniker lol.

People base their notions of AI on science fiction, and it usually goes one of two ways in fiction.

Either a) skynet awakens and kills us all or

B) the singularity happens, AI get so far ahead they become deities, and maybe the chosen elect transhumanists get swept up into some simulation that is basically a heavenly realm or something.

So yeah, bringing us to the promised land is an expectation of super AI that does seem to come out of certain types of science fiction.
