How about how many useful patents the AGI can lay claim to in a year. We feed in all the world's major problems and ask it for any inventions which would provide cost effictive partial solutions towards solving these problems.
Obviously there will be many alternate problems and solution paths to explore. If the AGI is able produce more significant patents that we would expect a human genius to produce then I would say that it has surpassed us in intelligence. Of course it may be slowed down by the fact that it will have to wait for us to perform experiments for it and create prototypes but it can be working on alternate inventions while it is waiting on us. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Mike Tintner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Matt: Humans cannot recognize intelligence superior > to their own. > > This like this whole thread is not totally but highly unimaginative.
