| If we accept: - that there's only one class of "humanic" intelligence; - that we can approximately represent instances in this class of intelligence as vectors of {memory, learning speed, computation speed, communication speed}; - that any AI that could be created is merely a vector in this n-dimensional intelligence space, lacking any extra-intelligent qualities; - that productivity and achievement increases exponentially the more intelligent being you devote to a problem, but logarithmically for more beings you devote (e.g. a being with intelligence vector {10,10,10,10} might be as productive as 10000 {1,1,1,1} beings); then this doesn't exclude the possibility of us creating an AI with an intelligence vector twice an average human's intelligence vector, which can suggest improvements to its algorithms and datacenter and chip designs to become 10x as intelligent as a human, and from there it could quickly determine new algorithms, and eventually it's considering philosophy (and what to do about these humans). The point is: viewing intelligence the way you suggest doesn't help us on what to do about "super" artificial intelligence. |
