There is no point in talking about AGI unless you mean sentience. That’s what everyone cares about. The rest is technobabble.

- MattPalmer1086 6mo agoWhy would anyone specifically care about making a machine that can experience feelings? Could be dumb as a brick, but sentient.
- satisfice 6mo agoIt's what everyone other than pedantic jerks think AGI means. Read a book. Watch a movie. Every depiction of AGI is essentially a depiction of a human. Sometimes a human without substantial emotions. That's sentience.
- MattPalmer1086 6mo agoThe focus of AGI is on achieving human equivalence in cognitive tasks, or to surpass it ("intelligence"). That's where the money and the research is. Making a stupid machine that happens to be aware ("sentient") isnt the goal.
- WithinReason 6mo agobecause the I in AGI stands for intelligence, not sentience.
- satisfice 6mo agoThat's not what anyone means by it. Are you paying attention to why people care about AGI? AGI means "human-like."
