Humans are advanced, yes, but we cannot easily solve coordination problems.
Think of how different the world would be if everybody was controlled by a single unified mind.
If everyone was perfectly aware of where in the world their skill were best applied, if everyone agreed on social and economical objectives.
AGI can duplicate itself and can reprogram itself.
It is not about which one is more marvelous, more advanced, or more evolved.
It is about specific possibilities that AGI has that we don't.
- bioemerl 4y ago> Think of how different the world would be if everybody was controlled by a single unified mind. It would be terrible. We would lack diversity, society would stratify and get stuck that way forever. Conflict is bad, but it's also good. Corrupt society should always fall and be renewed by something new and unique, and without such a process we'd land in social quicksand. Finding the best place for you is a NP hard problem. The number of places for your grows exponentially as humanity does, and then on top of that you have to match every person to all those potential spots. We already have a roughly working system with self discovery. There's room for improvement, but I don't believe it's scary super exponential, and a lot of the room to improve comes from things we can also access, like the internet. Duplication runs into the same issue hiveminds do. I'm sure it will prove incredibly useful, but for the tasks humans do nowadays at a high level they'll be somewhat muted. You need diversity.
