Artificial General Intelligence is the last technology humans will have to invent.
In 1895, Guglielmo Marconi succeeded in receiving Morse code on a radio wave transmitted by a spark-gap transmitter with a receiver 2.4 km away.
The first flying machine piloted by Orville Wright took off in 1903. It was a 12 second flight traveling 120 feet.
A century later, a flying machine — Voyager 1, had traveled 15 billion miles away while still sending signals back to earth. Just imagine the progress made by wireless technology and flying machines within a century.
An Airbus A380 can carry 800 passengers in full comfort traveling 10,000 miles non-stop.
Our flying machines are a hundred thousand times the weight of birds — nature’s flying machines.
And this was the progress of technology in the 20th century.
In the 21st century the pace of technological progress is much faster.
As an example, the sequencing of the first human Genome was completed in the year 2003 in 13 years at a cost of $2.7 billion. Now, just 20 years later, it can be done within a week at a cost of $600.
ChatGPT is like the puddle jump of the first flight of Wright brothers or the first transmission of Guglielmo Marconi.
Humans have just realized that it is possible to make self learning machines similar to the human brain.
Just as humans saw birds flying and made flying machines a hundred thousand times heavier than birds, we will also be able to make superhuman AI with an IQ a thousand or a million times that of Einstein. There is absolutely no doubt about it. It is only a matter of time.
It will most probably not take a century since the pace of technological progress is much faster in this century.
In fact, Artificial General Intelligence ( AGI ) is around the corner. We will soon have superhuman AI which will have an IQ many times that of Einstein
It will be the end of all the problems of humanity:
No one will need to work to earn a living.
Everyone will be able to retire the day they are born since there will be plenty of everything produced by AGI.
Education will be unnecessary.
The kids will not have to go to schools.
No one would need to waste 20 years of their life to acquire one millionth the knowledge of AGI.
There will be no disease.
We will live completely healthy lives till the age of 200 or may be forever.
There will be no traffic jams on the roads.
No energy shortage.
No water shortage.
No food shortage even for ten times the population.
No homeless people in the entire world.
No garbage disposal problem.
No plastics waste disposal problem.
No problem of ecological collapse or species extinction.
No destruction of forests.
No wildfires.
No climate disasters killing people.
No accidents.
No nuclear waste disposal problem.
No global warming problem.
No one will vilify you for overconsumption.
No one will vilify you for producing too many kids.
No threat of nuclear weapons since nations would not need to fight for economic dominance. There would be infinite abundance produced by AGI.
The entire world will become a single nation. No need to waste trillions of dollars on defense.
We will know what dark matter and dark energy is.
We will know the origin of life.
We will know why the universe exists.
We will know whether there are aliens.
We will be able to travel beyond the solar system close to the speed of light to discover aliens.
We will all be living in huge mansions built on multi-acre lots built and maintained by AGI.
We made slaves out of horses, bullocks, elephants, sled dogs, Black people, and now we have our dream slave — superhuman AGI.
We will all live happily ever after.
What could possibly go wrong?
