> Instead, all humans and AI aligned with the goal of improving the human condition
I admire your optimism about the goals of all humans, but evidence tends to point to this not being the goal of all (or even most) humans, much less the people who control the AIs.
Most humans are aligned with this goal out of pure self-interest. The vast majority, for instance, do not want rogue AI to take over or destroy humanity, because they are part of humanity.

A rogue AI destroying humanity (whatever that means) is not a likely outcome. That's just movie stuff.
What is more likely is a modern oligarchy and serfdom that emerge as AI devalues most labor, with no commensurate redistribution of power and resources to the masses, due to capture of government by owners of AI and hence capital.
