>A profound sense of dread is something most ordinary people live with throughout life, and if AI can reduce systemic unfairness,

I'll keep that in mind. If I'm suffering more than you are, the solution is to bring you down to my level.

A fallacious argument. There's no goal of inflicting suffering on other people; you can equally look at it as enabling people who were previously shut out of something to participate in it, or if not to participate in it directly to reap the benefits by having an agent exploit automation on their behalf.

Not only is that not a real solution to unfairness (it's certainly not fair for the person who now has to suffer more than they were), it also ignores the far better option which would be to reduce your suffering so that it isn't disproportionate to everyone else's. You might be holding onto to some self-destructive fearful crab-bucket mentality if that's where your mind instantly takes you.
