Happiness is hard to measure. We don't know if people are happier today than 100 or 1000 years ago. We don't know if people are happier than animals. We don't know if farm animals are happier than wild animals. Food, music, sex, drugs, and wire heading make people happy for reasons that may or may not be related to AI. I suppose that AI can generate better music and porn and designer drugs and tastier foods than humans. Again, hard to measure. But we do need a measure because the maximum score on the Turing test is human level intelligence, and LLMs now achieve that even after decades of moving the goalposts. Legg and Hutter define universal intelligence as expected reward over a universal distribution of environments. The closest practical measure of utility we have is dollars per hour. But since only humans can own property, we have to measure the difference between current world GDP and what it would be if humans had to do the same work without technology. GDP is 100 times what it was in 1800 just relative to the price of food and ignoring all the amazing technology you couldn't buy then for any amount. You can't compare human and machine intelligence. There isn't a threshold to cross. But it is pretty clear that recursive self improvement and exponential growth started centuries ago. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T42db51de471cbcb9-M28b6a8fde5e69cd5218133a6 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
