A baby AGI has immense advantage. It's starting (life?) after billions of years of evolution and thousands of years of civilization. A 5 YO child can't float all languages, all science, all mathematics, all recorded history, all encyclopedia, etc. in sub-millisecond RAM and be able to interconnect to almost any type of electronics. There are a lot of comparisons of a 5YO with an AGI but I wonder about those... are we just anthropomorphisizing AGI by coming up with a tabula rasa feel good AGI that needs to learn like a cute human baby? Our brains are good I mean they are us but aren't they just biological blobs of goop that are half-assed excuses for intelligence? I mean why are AGI's coming about anyway? Is it because our brains are awesome and fulfill all of our needs? No. We need to be uploaded otherwise we die.
