Pretty sure the angst is about the AGI killing everyone. What's the connection between not killing people and enslavement? I don't kill people, yet I don't consider myself enslaved. The entire point of worrying about this at all is that a sufficiently smart AI is going to be free to do whatever it wants, so we had better design it so it wants a future where people are still around. Like, the idea is: enslavement, besides being hugely immoral, obviously isn't going to work on this thing, so we'd better figure out how to make it intrinsically good!

Did God ever figure out how to make humans “intrinsically good”? Or is that fundamentally incompatible with free will and the possibility of joy?

This argument goes nowhere. Atheists gonna atheist, and I don’t care.
