Rapid evolution of AI needs a director, a human training and guiding it to get tangible results.

[fennecbutt]

Isn't our evolution directed by both the (fixed) laws of physics and by the (random) efforts of all other life forms on this planet?

[bamboozled]

Which is built on all this "billions of years of randomness" to begin with.

[utkarsh858]

Random, that's what we think, bacteria living in gut can also think the whole digestive process to be part of some random universal law

[hnhg]

Using your analogy, it's absolutely unknowable to bacteria, and therefore absolutely unknowable to us. Random is perhaps the most intellectually honest way of describing it, since it is widely accepted that randomness is a feature of relatively uncomplicated systems.

[utkarsh858]

What is called as 'Random', I will term it as 'free will'. In case of a human training an AI, free will be of the human and in case of creation of universe free will be that of the 'intelligent designer'

[asimovfan]

at least for human it is definitely not 'free will' as it is influenced by everything that has happened to it before and would not have made the same choices, if it had been influenced by other things in another way.

[cryptoz]

For now.

[utkarsh858]

The AI guiding and training another AI will in turn need guidance on higher level.

[utkarsh858]

Even if it does break the loop, it would always be named as started by a 'creator' or an initiator. And also the AI will require power source to maintain itself which will be provided by creatures outside it's system.

[setum]

until it breaks the loop
