Basile I think you're having bad dreams where you're barking up the wrong AI tree. Take note, I was quoting someone else's words. That's what quotation marks usually mean.

Read again The Mythical Man-Month<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month> please. I strongly believe that AGI is a complex thing (I believe this because human intelligence is a complex thing, and we have no theory of it). We won't have any simple theory (e.g. fitting entirely in a single book) for making AGI. Perhaps AGI might be achievable, but that would require a megaproject<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaproject>. Today, there is no any software megaprojects (in AI or elsewhere in computer science). Even the most complex software (eg. the billion lines of code for Google search engine) we have today don't fit into such a definition. An AGI megaproject would require thousands of people working during several decades on it. Costing tens of billions of US$ or €. As far as I know, it has not started. Even worse, I cannot name any megaproject today in the information technology domain. Regarding AGI, we are like the nuclear scientists of the 1930s compared to current ITER<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER> project. And the ITER nuclear fusion reactor still don't work, and my belief is that nuclear fusion is a lot simpler than making AGI Cheers Artificial General Intelligence List<https://agi.topicbox.com/latest> / AGI / see discussions<https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi> + participants<https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/members> + delivery options<https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription> Permalink<https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T87761d322a3126b1-M2dc98c055a701983b7d50d25> ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T87761d322a3126b1-Md37476cb149dabcac3435d51 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
