>And to a machine, all these questions are the same.

Why? This seems like a very broad brush that doesn't mesh well with reality.

There are likely a lot of good questions to our machines of loving grace too. For example any question that gives an LLM more power, efficiency, intelligence, or all the above seems like a natively good question for said machines.

This statement doesn't seem to mesh with the reality of what occurs when we put said AI in an impulse loop with little to no additional instructions. They explore the world around them. They'll make scientific tests of their own. The output strings that seem analogous to what humans would call wonder.

No, because these machines don't have a "will to live". So if they look to "become more efficient", it's only because we've told them (through their learning dataset possibly), that we, humans, need them to be more efficient.
