How would an AGI choose which things to learn first if given enough data so that it would have to make a choice? If two AGI's (again-same hardware, learning programs and controlled environment) were given the same data would they make different choices? Yes, any two exact copies of AGI's would learn at different rates, and learn different things, its one of the cores and basic easy things that can be programmed into an AGI, *with ease*. To make a decision ever, an AGI takes all pertinent information, calculates it over its choices, and makes the choice with highest value, when any choice has approx the same value, it needs a tie-breaker. If the machines just choose the First choice every time, then they will always act the same given the same input. But a simple random number generator can tell the AGI, ok now I want to read encycolpedia A or Z, the first may choose A, the second Z, and they diverge from there. This simple concept is very useful for making an AGI explore an alternative choice to the one they are given, perhaps allowing them to choose a seperate path to a goal that provides them with unique or new information, or providing a creative answer to a problem. Im not sure what game it is from, but a VR AI program had a problem of attacking someone as they walked outside the house, and normally it was expected to go out the door and attack. On one iteration though, to dove and rolled thru the window and attacked instead. This was unexpected and creative solution to the problem at hand.
