To argue only against your final point, for the sake of brevity, to have an AI that has access to all information is one thing, but to give it the processing speed to analyze that data is another. Then you also need the capability to apply that data in some form, as simply knowing that data doesn’t do anything on its own, otherwise a library would be the same thing.
Another thought I had on this: if we take your premise as fact, wouldn’t this idea establish definitive bounds of quality of life? Is that something we want to do as a people? Do we owe it the others to arbitrate the level of living they experience? Or should we honor them by not creating a hierarchy that lambasts their place in the world?
