Brad:
Sigh. Your point of view is heavily biased by the unspoken assumption that
AGI
must be Turing-indistinguishable from humans. That it must be AGHI.
Brad,
Literally: "what on earth are you talking about?" What other than human
intelligence - symbol & sign-using intelligence - is there? (& a few Washoe
chimps - & computer extensions of the brain).
I & you can *vaguely* understand the *concept* of an alternative
*non-human* or *alien intelligence*, but it's a totally ungrounded concept,
like *flying pigs.* You can't point to a single operational example of what
you mean. living or mechanical. Nor, I suggest, do you or anyone else have
an example of what you mean - nobody's thought it through. It comes down to
the same as "we don't need no stinking grounding." It's not an affirmation
of something solid, merely a rejection of the hard work of having to
understand how human intelligence - and especially general intelligence -
works.
In general, I suggest - in fact, I'm quite sure - human intelligence should
be taken as *ideal*. Not perfect, not unimprovable-on. But v.g. and usually
the best available, however flawed it may at first appear. The product of
the odd billion years of dealing with certain problems - and v.
sophisticated. Before you can do better, you have to understand how it
works. Especially you have to understand how GI works - how the human brain
creates concepts, metaphors, creative ideas, creative generalizations. And
at the moment, you - the AGI community - don't understand a single aspect of
GI, or have a single idea/proposal that even *addresses* any aspect. (Ben's
promised a paper with an idea, at last, but it's in the post).
[I'm v. happy & interested to consider animal/robotic intelligence & forms
of culture - but I take it that your concepts of non-human intelligence all
involve symbol use].
