AI could "surpass" human intelligence without ever achieving it.
Like imagine a self-replicating solar energy collector that outcompetes every natural plant. It wouldn't replace the ecosystem in a holistic sense, just a Darwinian one.
There's no reason dinosaurs couldn't have written better poetry than any creature since.
- beaconstudios 5y agoComputers have long since surpassed human intelligence - there's no way I could perform as many FLOPS in my head as even a really old computer!
- perl4ever 5y agoNot in the sense that I meant. They haven't eradicated all the niches for human intelligence - as a programmer you might overlook the people still making spreadsheets by hand, but I don't think they are endangered, yet.
- drdeca 5y agoA vm inside a vm inside a vm, can’t perform as many operations as the base level machine. It is not clear that such an old machine is capable of doing “more computation” than your brain does. I very much doubt that either is capable of emulating the other in real time.
