> Humans are generally intelligent. This claim is often considered so obvious as to be hardly worth stating explicitly; but it underlies nearly all discussions of AGI.
I wonder though. Should that really be the goal? This seems like another instance of people's propensity to think of themselves as the pinnacle of something. In this case that something is intelligence.
- devoply 10y agoI think this frames it in the economic terms. The unstated goal is to replace human beings with robots, to get automation to do everything people can do. Which would then render people economically useless. Which would then cause some sort of drastic change in the purpose of human life, which since the 1600 or so has been about using people to produce things that they then consume.
