Suppose in case 1, the AGI is smarter than humans as humans are smarter than monkeys. How would you convince a monkey that you are smarter than it? How could an AGI convince you, other than to demonstrate that you cannot control it?
This would depend if the extremly smart AGI would want us to know that it is smarter than we. If it had that desire it could e.g. formulate a proof for the Poncare Conjecture in such a way that it was as accessible to an average person as the rules for chess.
Suppose in case 2, the AGI is more advanced than us as we are more advanced than bacteria. The bacteria on a microscope slide are unaware of you observing them, or that you have full control over their environment. How could you convince the bacteria otherwise?
For a bacteria this will be next to impossible as it is not sentient as has no concept of it's surroundings other than a few basic chemical indicators.
How do you know that the universe is not a simulation by a successful AGI?
I don't ;-) But more importantly: how do you know that AGI isn't you? -- Stefan Pernar App. 1-6-I, Piao Home No. 19 Jiang Tai Xi Lu 100016 Beijing China Mobil: +86 1391 009 1931 Skype: Stefan.Pernar ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
