I used to think AI would force us to be honest about what we're optimizing for. What we really want, whether as individuals or society.
In a way, I still think that. But I hadn't expected the world to be so self-destructive in the attempts to avoid honest confrontation with our desires.

I'm sorry if this sounds a bit vague.
