Let's assume that we have cheap, powerful hardware (enough to model human brains) and that we solved the hard AI problems like language, vision, art, robotics, and modeling human behavior. How much effort will be required to train billions of robots to do all the work that 7 billion people now do? No two jobs are exactly alike, but you may assume that you can copy the mind of the robot doing the job closest to the one you want to train. How much additional teaching time is required? -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
