1 year agoMakes sense, if you have an infallible ai. Bc it’s probably outputting machine code and that wouldn’t be so fun to debug.
I often get the impression that everyone talking about how we’re so much better than AI haven’t put any thought into our own human cognition and consciousness.
We don’t know exactly how the brain works, or how consciousness happens. But the best science based explanations we have make us nothing more than electrochemical machines.
And if we can replicate the workings of the brain, with neural nets and appropriate reinforcement mechanisms (or any other means), not bound by the limits of biological evolution… then we will have a singularity.
But that’s 2 major ifs. IF we’re electrochemical machines and IF we can make a synthetic version. But IFs that don’t seem too far fetched to me.
