Matt: 
AGI is all about building machines that think, so you don't have to.

Matt,

I'm afraid that's equally silly and also shows a similar lack of understanding 
of sensors and semiotics.

An AGI robot won't know what it's like to live inside a human skin, and will 
have limited understanding of our life problems -different body, different 
sensors, different body metaphors, and ergo different connotations for signs it 
may use.

So, sorry, you're just going to have to keep thinking.

Funny this, because I just posted the following elsewhere:

What's The Difference between Dawkins & The Pope?

"We are survival machines-robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the 
selfish molecules known as genes" 
The Pope

"Why did God make you? God made me to know him, love him and serve him in this 
world, and be with him forever in the next"
Richard Dawkins

God, genes, what's the diff, ? Same basic urge to subordinate the human to a 
higher purpose, to be worshipped and adored. Is there any real difference 
between so many scientists and religious here? 

{And one might add, AGI-ers with their omnipotent SuperAGI  -  in nomine 
Turing, et Neumann, et Minsky].

that's like saying cartography or cartoons could be done a lot faster if they 
just used cameras -  ask Michael to explain what the hand can draw that the 
camera can't

It could be done a lot faster if the iPad had a camera.

McLuhan argues that touch is the central sense - the one that binds the others. 
He may be right. The i-devices integrate touch into intelligence.
