Ask HN: Does Anyone Want AGI?
5 by aktungmak | 4 comments on Hacker News.
There is always a lot of discussion about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and how close we are to achieving that. However, I have so far not seen anyone put forward a convincing argument as to WHY we as citizens of the world would want such a thing. More advanced machine learning and statistical techniques can help us automate difficult/boring tasks and manage limited resources better, but these do not require AGI. Can someone convince me how AGI would be beneficial for the world, beyond being scientifically interesting?
