The specificity conditions around "people" are hard. Loneliness and purpose in service are not enough.

Most people, I think, want a deeply species-ist AI.

It has to want to help humans. Not exclude us from planets to make room for uplifting dolphins or defect by spawning more machine intelligences.

I think that condition is hard to meet while also counting future-humans who might look more like aliens or software than the humans of today.

I believe the rational solution would be a benevolent AI that values all life, the problem being that it wouldn't necessarily always work in "our" interests.
