I used to wonder the same, and was dismissive of the idea of "superintelligence". Now I think the whole thing- superintelligence, alignment, etc-, can be simplified a lot. Imagine you could give to someone (a random human being) the gift of omnipotence. Would you trust anyone with this ultimate power? That's the whole problem.
