Also not my ideal, conceptually. But if it's the only way to get neurons to work on our level, ok.

It's a nice situation for the bacteria, though, right?

If these crazy AI horror stories, dreamt up by a species whose brains have been specifically adapted for pattern recognition and finding possible things to be afraid of regardless of how rational they are, turn out to be true and there really is a monster under the bed this time, based on everything we're quite likely to end up in the enviable position of being nurtured as gut bacteria by these AI overlords

Nietzsche would have quite a lot to say about his being called a prophet of all things, none of them particularly flattering. Nor, now that I think of it, would he be particularly sympathetic towards the sentiments of people afraid of all-powerful super AIs

For what it's worth, my gut bacteria would likely not agree with the idea that I am the Overman and them mere Undermen. I look forward with glee to the day when my AI toils to build for me a house within its belly for me to feed on it and command it to feed ever more for me. But I will have to be careful, because humanity has let itself feed on the land far too poorly. Maybe I'll give the AI a stomachache every so often just to make sure it doesn't get out of hand
