For many people, average utilitarianism is believed to be completely unachievable. There is no way to discover peoples utility functions in a way that can be averaged together.
I thought “average utiltarianism” referred to something like “my utility function is computed by taking the average suffering and pleasure of all the people in the world”, not “I would like the utility functions of everyone to be averaged together and have that used to create a world”.
I think you are correct. That is what I meant, but I see how I misused the word “utility.” The argument translates easily. Without out AI, we don’t have any way to measure suffering and pleasure.
