I worry that you are right. Humans need meaning in their lives, and too often it is manifests as violence. Think of all the conflicts that are started over stupid disagreements and people being unable to put aside their pride and apologize, or reach a compromise. Ideally this impulse could be directed outwards toward space colonization, or other super projects, or inwards towards overcoming one’s own ego. If the AI really is that smart, it’ll be smart enough to help us figure out how to live in a post-scarcity society!
