I'm more curious about the ability of an AI to make scientific guesses and experimentation. I wonder if an AI could really "understand" math, and from there, try to solve problems that puzzle scientists, would it be in physics, math, biology, etc. I don't really care if robots can learn language, make pizza, do some programming or improve itself play chess. There is no metric for what intelligence is, and you cannot scientifically define what "improve" means unless you do time and distance measurements, which is not relevant to intelligence or scientific understanding. Intelligence explosion sounds like some "accelerated" version of what darwin described as evolution. It's like creating a new life form, but unless you understand it, it doesn't have scientific value. Science values understanding. I think that modelling thinking with psychology and neuro-sciences has more future than AI. Machine learning seems like some clever brute force extraction of data. The methods, the math and algorithms are sound, but it is still "artificial" intelligence.
