Danny asks:

> You've said that an intelligent AI would lead to doom because it would be an excellent goal-to-action mapper.  A great football coach like Andy Reid is a great goal-to-action mapper.  He's on the sidelines, but he knows exactly what actions his team needs to execute to achieve the goal and win the game. 

> But if he had a team of chimpanzees or elementary schoolers, or just players who did not want to cooperate, then his team would not execute his plans and they would lose.  And even his very talented team of highly motivated players who also want to win the game, sometimes execute his actions badly. Now an intelligent AI that does not control a robot army has very limited ability to perform precise acts in the physical world.  From within the virtual world, an AI would not be able to get animals or plants to carry out specific actions that it wants performed.  I don't see how the AI could get monkeys or dolphins to maintain power plants or build chips.

> The AI needs humans to carry out its plans,  but in the real physical world, when dealing with humans, knowing what you want people to do is a small part of the equation.  Won't the AI in practice struggle to get humans to execute its plans in the precise way that it needs?
