Yes, like gray goo. The reason we need human knowledge is that effective communication requires you to know what the other person knows and doesn't know. We automatically assume that other people have common sense knowledge, which saves us lots of words by not having to tell them things they already know. We only become aware that we are doing this when we try to communicate with machines lacking common sense. You may have seen my estimates of the cost of AGI. Once Moore's Law brings down the cost of hardware, the most expensive component will be human knowledge collection. Some human knowledge can be sucked off the internet, but there is still a lot that isn't written down, including how to do all the jobs that you want to automate. I estimate 10^17 bits worldwide, and it all has to be extracted through speech and writing. -- -- 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
