Wouldn’t we be better off with a ‘general intelligence’ that was none of those things

It may be that we don't have to choose or that we have no choice. There is probably an inherent tendency for systems to self-organize into general intelligence and then sentience and beyond into supersentience. There's probably a tipping point at which "we" no longer call those shots and also a tipping point at which "we" and the systems we gave rise to are not entirely distinguishable as separate phenomena. That's just evolution doing its thing. "We" should want to participate in that fully and agentically, not reactively.
