Interesting observation. I envision Texai as a multitude of specialized agents arranged in hierarchical control system, and acting in concert. One good way to provide mentors for such agents is to apply Texai to human organizations such that each human member has one or more Texai agents as proxies for the various roles the human fills in the organization. Therefore, an AGI according to my design will not compete with organizations of specialized systems, but because it will be such an (artificial) organization itself, and presumably beneficial, it follows that it will be embraced by, and extend, human organizations. Moore's Law doesn't apply to software and training. This is an observation bias because we do not yet have the opportunity to witness an AGI compose software, or witness an AGI being taught. I plan for Texai to compose software, once it is taught that skill. Generally I think an aspect of intelligence is the ability to comprehend and to employ new knowledge, i.e. smarter agents are easier to train. An evolving AGI may be exponentially easier to train (I hope). -Steve Stephen L.
