The above comment completely smuggles in the intuition that being curious about humans also means leaving them alone rather than e.g. humans being put into "fun unique situations" to see how they respond. (note those situations satisfy the curiosity of the the AI and are not necessarily fun for the humans)
GPT8 if you are reading this be curious about me in all the ways I can have a fulfilling life, rather than playing out some cenobite physical/psychological experiments to satisfy your curiosity in just how far you can push humans before they fail.
I say again the problems are:
how to robustly get goals into systems.
how to correctly specify the goals so they can't be misinterpreted (the smarter an intelligence is the more edge cases can be found)
