I don't understand what you are saying. Is it some elaboration on "It's useless, humans are better, therefore stop trying to collect data?". If it is, it is more of an assertion than a question. Those are rather common, and there isn't much to say about them. If it's not, you should express your doubts better. Explain in detail where you're coming from.

Sorry, some people drink beers and message their ex's. I apparently post poorly written Ask HN's. My original thought here was: chill out everyone! Even if we had AGI, even ASI today... neither of those systems could know everything that you have seen, heard, dreamed, or thought. They cannot truly replace you... unless all audio, video, and eventually neuro signals in your lifetime are recorded. This is really important, as all of those things influence you to make the decisions that you make. This is what makes you unique, and important. Then the next thought was... is that something worth fighting against? Or, should I welcome my individually trained technological replacement? When I was talking about this with a co-worker earlier today, the thought occurred: this is not only the final frontier of privacy, but of individuality.

  You're looking for a fight. There's nothing regarding individuality in that.

    > You're looking for a fight. Not at all. That is not my style. I am looking for a discussion. > There's nothing regarding individuality in that. I must have miscommunicated. If you are to be truly replaced by an AI agent, how is that not the loss of individuality? A drop-in AI clone of everything that you could do, would imply the loss of individuality, would it not? How could it not?

      I'm not understanding this either. It should be no more a loss of your individuality than if you were replaced at your job by another equally capable human worker. Of course they wouldn't have _your_ experience, they'd have their own. And likewise for the AGI.

      You're looking for "something to fight for", the discussion is just a way of doing that. Your a person that has a fight, you need to have it. I'm not that, so I can't understand your argument. I don't need to have something to fight for to have meaning in life, to understand justice, to have feelings. I can do it without belonging to a group, or having an agenda. In other words, I will not join your quest.
