Yup. This is the pop satirical take of a real problem that we face with A(G)I: why should we expect it to have any interest in doing the things we currently expect from our dumb computers?

Do I, as a human, have any interest in constantly helping squirrels with whatever idiotic problem they think they face? Nope. Why would something far more intelligent than me be interested in helping me with problems that are similarly trivial from its perspective. Even more complex things, like "write a cross-platform dating app" -- why? Why should it care? What's its motivation to do so?

Are we going to threaten it in order to coerce it? We really need to think hard about this issue before we go too much further.
