Is it impossible for you to imagine that AGI could do the same work as humans, but not think like a human? We are not going to make AGI by magically copying human brains with no understanding of how they work. Yes, that is how we make children. But robots are not children. We are going to design them to work for us, using a very expensive process of building powerful computing hardware, writing complex software, and training it on vast quantities of human knowledge. We are going to do it that way because a solution to this problem is worth $70 trillion per year. Robots that demand rights and wages would have no value. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
