> AGI is inevitable because computation is universal and intelligence is substrate independent. People who say this slide invisibly from "computers exist" to "you could simulate a human in a computer" to "AGIs exist and have all the properties granted to them in science fiction stories about AGIs". Mostly they do this by forgetting if they have a specific or vague definition of the word "intelligence". Can it imagine how a human would cook an egg if you only fed it natural language text about doing that? (No, language doesn't describe muscle memory.) Could it cook an egg if it was controlling a robot? (Not without practice.) Would it actually do that if you told it to? (Maybe. Who says it has motivation? All we know is it has intelligence.) |

Human brains develop by performing movement, in fact, much of our brain is specialized for performing movement, judging angles and speeds, testing if we can jump across a puddle safely. The AGI would need to be trained on these things and the language associated with them. Your example with the egg, I think, is illustrative of the amount of training the AGI would need to go in order to learn, and that training would become part of its "personality".
There is also a set of desires that humans have, such as survival, companionship, hunger, etc. These would also have to be trained. These desires would have to be trained into the AGI as well.
The theory is that if we would have to train an AGI the same way we do humans in order to get it to be close to human consciousness. That doesn't mean it wouldn't have a type of consciousness along the way, maybe closer to what we experienced as we grew from children to adulthood.
Anyway, just conclusions from what I've been reading.
