Travel agent. Better yet, housemaid. I can teach it to become these things
because I know how to do them. Early AGIs will be more likely to be
successful at these things because they're easier to learn.
Yes, that shows deep analysis and insight into the problem.
I can just see the first AGI corporation now, having spent a hundred
million dollars in development money, deciding to make a profit by
selling a housemaid robot that will replace the cheap, almost-slave
labor coming across the border from Mexico.
Of course, it would not occur to that company to develop their systems
just a litle more and get the AGI to do high-value intellectual work.
