Clippy (or rather Clippy’s controller) may be trying to make that point. But I’m with AdeleneDawner—the people whose values we (terminally) care about may not be precisely restricted to humans, but it’s certainly not over all possible mind-spaces. Several have even argued that all humans is too broad, and that only “enlightenment” type culture is what we should care about. Clippy did indeed make several arguments against that.
But our worry about paperclippers predates Clippy. We don’t want to satisfy them, but perhaps game-theoretically there are reasons to do so in certain cases.
