I don’t see anything in here that forbids using weaker AI systems to help with this plan. But how do you ever know when you’ve succeeded if it’s not by proofs? proving through ais is not out of the question, it’s a thing that is done to some kinds of safety critical deep learning AIs now.
My general concern with “using AGI to come up with better plans” is not that they will successfully manipulate us into misalignment, but Goodhart us into reinforcing stereotypes of “how good plan should look” or somewhat along this dimension, purely from how RLHF-style steering works.
Humans already do this, except we have made it politically incorrect to talk about the ways in which human-generated Goodhearting make the world worse (race, gender, politics etc)
Your examples are clearly visible. If your wrong alignment paradigm get reinforced because of your attachment to specific model of causality known to ten people in entire world, you risk to notice this too late.

I think the first step will be using AGIs to come up with better plans.

you’re thinking about this the wrong way. AGI governance will not operate like human governance.
Can you elaborate? I don’t understand where we disagree.
