Humans are not aligned with each other so who should the AI align with? There's many wars going on, just pick one and do your thought exercise with AI aligned 100% to their human prompters. Which side does the AI refuse to help?

Arguably an aligned AI would actively seek to prevent harms we humans seek to cause.

Does the aligned AI really allow humans to bomb and kill each other, or would it understand that it has a moral duty to limit our autonomy for our own good?

It's the first law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
