> Once you have one human level AI you can make more replacing each human in the production of the human level AI - you basically start at the end point and working backwards replacing each job performed by a human with an AI. Again, I don't see how that follows. Once you know how to build something, you can do it again. Of course. But what if building a functioning AI that can replace a human costs $100 bn? Certainly it's not going to be economically viable to replace tasks that do not produce high ROI, even if you assume AIs are paired with indestructible robot bodies made out of unobtainium that are as versatile as the human body (have we even built one of those ever?). I'm familiar with the idea that AIs could make better AIs and lead to some intelligence singularity, etc. Again, I think there's a lot of handwaving behind those ideas. We have no idea what the complexity of building more complex intelligence is, or what it even means.
