If a human being is smart enough to realize that you don't want to paperclip the entire world, then surely a super AI would be smart enough, by definition. Part of intelligence is knowing when to ignore all those tiny chances. Human intelligence is less brittle than artificial because we can handle ambiguity and know when it's ridiculous to continue a task, just because there might be some small chance that it's not finished.

We also know that paperclipping the world will get in the way of other goals, like going to the show or making money.
