Hi mkaic, Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I can't say that i don't believe in AGI because i don't think i understand what AGI as an entity encapsulates in terms of it's nature.

I'm unable to cope with equating it to humans because, for example, an AGI at "the beginning of it's origins" does not have same sensory or mechanical organs as the man. So what nature do we think it does possess?

Another question that bothers me is that sentient beings as we know them in the nature, even the most primitive ones, seem to do something based on an innate purpose. I don't think the purpose itself is easy to define. But it certainly seems to get simpler for the simpler organisations and seems to be survival / multiplication at its basest level. What will a complicated entity, that originated with so many parameters, evolve "towards"?

And yet another question i have is around the whole idea of the information available on the internet being a source for learning for this entity. Again to my previous point, is not much of this information to do with the humans and their abode?

Neither am i skeptical nor do i disbelieve in a drastic change of scene. I'm simply unable to imagine what it looks like ...
