The technological struggles are in some ways beside the point. The financial bet on artificial general intelligence is so big that failure could cause a depression.
Well I’m curious then, because I have never seen or heard or read that general intelligence would be needing some kind of wetware anywhere. Why would it? It’s just computations.
I do have heard and read about consciousness potentially having that barrier though, but only as a potential problem, and if you want conscious robots ofc.
I don’t think it does, but it seems conceivable that it potentially could. Maybe there’s more to intelligence than just information processing - or maybe it’s tied to consciousness itself. I can’t imagine the added ability to have subjective experiences would hurt anyone’s intelligence, at least.
I think you might mix up AGI and consciousness?
I think first we have to figure out if there is even a difference.
Same argument applies for consciousness as well, but I’m talking about general intelligence now.
