RE: [agi] masterpiece on an iPad
Sounds like everyone would want one, or, one AGI could service us all. And that AGI could do all of the heavy thinking for us. We could become pleasure seeking, fibrillating blobs of flesh and bone suckling on the electronic brains of one big giant AGI.

Re: [agi] masterpiece on an iPad
Matt: AGI is all about building machines that think, so you don't have to. Matt, I'm afraid that's equally silly and also shows a similar lack of understanding of sensors and semiotics. An AGI robot won't know what it's like to live inside a human skin, and will have limited understanding of our life problems -different body, different sensors, different body metaphors, and ergo different connotations for signs it may use. So, sorry, you're just going to have to keep thinking. Funny this, because I just posted the following elsewhere: What's The Difference between Dawkins & The Pope? "We are survival machines-robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes" The Pope "Why did God make you? God made me to know him, love him and serve him in this world, and be with him forever in the next" Richard Dawkins God, genes, what's the diff, ? Same basic urge to subordinate the human to a higher purpose, to be worshipped and adored. Is there any real difference between so many scientists and religious here? {And one might add, AGI-ers with their omnipotent SuperAGI - in nomine Turing, et Neumann, et Minsky].
