If we manage to get to AGI and it looks, works and behaves like a human brain... I mean, cool, but that's a very useless AGI compared to the incredible stuff we have access to today.

The HN crowd I'm sure will still be unhappy calling it AGI because "it's not AGI unless its speech comes from the cerebral cortex region of the brain, otherwise it's just sparkling emoji" or something.

I think the idea is that you wouldn’t need humans to do anything anymore, right? As impressive as it is, it’s still ultimately directed by human planning and coordination. Assuming they are aligned, you could have a collection of AGI that you let loose and they tirelessly solve all of humanity’s problems, do all of our work, and progress science and our understanding of the universe.

Those are all things that humanity is doing everyday. What we have is amazing, but it’s not that.

you're on one of the most pro AI spaces on the whole internet and yet you're still crying about "the hn crowd", what a bizarre distorted perspective
