AGI is supposed to stand for Artificial General Intelligence, if something can have AGI without being intelligent then I don't know what "AGI" means. > *for it to be **extremely useful. * Well yeah, yeast cells are very stupid but they're extremely useful if you wanna bake bread or make beer. > *Today we cannot build a remotely controlled spider **that could survive > in Nature. * I think you mean autonomous spiders, we've been making remotely controlled robots for years that survive just fine in the natural world. *> If we have something similar, say spider level AGI then that's good > enough to fully automatize our entire economy * You'll need to do a lot better than that if you wanna automatize our entire economy. You need something smarter than a spider to write good software or design a microchip or diagnose an illness or perform surgery or even understand enough English to take an order at Burger King. I have no doubt it will just be a matter of time before computers can do all of those things better than a human, and with nanotechnology such a computer could be much smaller than a spider. *> This will lead to a new biology of machines with insect level > intelligence ending up wiping out all life on Earth due to pollution, > similar to the great oxygenation event:* I agree the earth is approaching something as monumental as the great oxygenation event and biological humans don't have much of a future, but our replacement will not be something with just insect level intelligence.
