And leaves have a lot of self-repair features that solar cells do not. The design is good for efficiency, but is it good for creating a self-sustaining entity?

- Turing_Machine 12y agoReplication is enough. Self-repair is not required.
- stephenboyd 12y agoWhat would stop a superintelligent machine with mastery of genetic modification from using the same biological systems for replication and repair?
- tomlock 12y agoNothing, but that expenditure of effort on replication and repair may place some limits on the effort expended on intelligence. If intelligence was all we needed to expend effort on as humans my belief is that we would look very different. I think in order to be a self-sustaining entity AI will have to expend effort on banal tasks not related to intelligence.
