Were you actually proposing that AGIs act while leaving their users in ignorance?! I think not, since you discussed "supervised" systems. While (as you pointed out) AGI's doing things other than educating may be technologically possible, I fail to see any value in such solutions, except possibly in fast-reacting systems, e.g. military fire control systems.
- A robot to babysit your kids. - An intelligent surveillance system that can recognize when a crime is taking place. - An AI that understands "make money for me" and does it. - A program that creates and plays music that you like. - A direct brain interface to create a virtual world indistinguishable from reality. - Immortality by copying your brain to software. The value of all human labor worldwide is US $66 trillion per year and increasing 5% per year. That is what AGI would be worth right now. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
