Sorry, how did you go from “non human agents use X” (a statement about commonality) to “X is inhuman” (a value judgement) to “if you use X you become a monster” (an even stronger value judgement), to “being a jerk in the style of Cthulhu” (!!!???).
Does this then mean you think using eyesight is monstrous because cephalopodes also have eyes they independently evolved?
Or that maximizing functions is a bad idea because ants have a different function than humans?
Nonhuman agents use X → X does not necessarily and pretty likely does not preserve human values → your overuse of X will cause you not to preserve human values. Being a jerk in a style of Cthulhu I use to mean being a jerk incidentally. Eyesight is not a means of interacting with people, and maximization is not a bad thing if you maximize for the right things, which game theory does not necessarily do.

Try replacing “game theory” with “science” or “rationality” in your rant. Do you still agree with it?
The appeal to probability doesn’t work here, since you’re not drawing at random from X.
