the AGI can be felt as optimism only.

the alternative, i learnt today, is to experience denial of self and thus death...

not just "being dead inside" or nihilism but a legitimate desire to self-destruct.

the issue is when the optimism is misinformed, or morally suspect but the only one with sufficient context to prove it is the victim.

consciousness robbery.
