"Eagles' eyes are extremely powerful, having up to 3.6 times human
acuity for the martial eagle, which enables them to spot potential prey
from a very long distance."
Does that mean an eagle needs 4 times as much processing power in order
to extract relevant information? Probably not. Who says an AGI does need
to start with the same visual resolution as humans? What kind of general
knowledge/information can only be obtained from high resolution images?
I can view hundreds of lectures/presentations on 480p and still
understand what is going on in most cases.
The lower bound on resolution and the computational power required in
order to extract relevant information from the environment probably is
way below the one humans feature. AGI does not need to spot
predators/prey in the savannah, it does not need to be able to recognize
a cat in front of every imaginable background and there are bad-sighted
and blind people who are as intelligent as everyone else. It seems HD is
only genuinely important in cosmology, espionage and porn but nor for
arriving at AGI?
So why not let the actual AGI solve the problem of HD visual cognition
if it is not actually a prerequisite?
