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].

An AGI may not really think like we do, it may just execute code. 

 

Though I suppose you could program a lot of fuzzy loops and idle
speculation, entertaining possibilities, having human think envy..

An AGI only has to predict your behavior so that it can serve you better by 
giving you what you want without you asking for it. It is not a copy of your 
mind. It is a program that can call a function that simulates your mind for 
some arbitrary purpose determined by its programmer.

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.
