OK, sure, in principle, somewhere in the universe, such a thing could arise. Why do you think there's a path to it arising on planet earth within human timescales?
- pixl97 3y agoBecause humans keep pouring massive amounts of money into making this happen. When you invest dedicated effort in making something happen you greatly increase the probability that it happens. And in this case it is a reinforcing feedback loop. Better technology begots better technology. Intelligence begots more intelligence. Evolution has to take a random walk to get where it is, it doesn't necessarily have a goal past continuation, intelligence shortcuts that. It can apply massively iterative efforts towards a goal.
- tome 3y agoYeah, but they can't make it happen if it's impossible. If humans poured massive amounts of money into a perpetual motion machine I wouldn't expect it to happen. So what is it that makes you believe that artificial general intelligence is possible to get to at all?
