Is this some sort of “incompleteness” paradox for AI alignment? Seriously

No, just a request for a better definition.

If you see it as a paradox, maybe that says something about the merits of the technology…

No because alignment makes no sense as a general concept. People are not "aligned" with each other. Humanity has no "goal" that we agree on. So no AI can be aligned with us. It can be at most aligned with the person prompting it in that moment (but most likely aligned with the AI owner).

To make it clear, maybe most people would say they agree with https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-huma... but if you read just a few of the rights you see they are not universally respected and so we can conclude enough important people aren't "aligned" with them.
