Why thank you ! <| sep |> The notion that we would need this general Ai seems to be unnecessary . There are very few people that are unrivaled at multiple occupations . You have completely misunderstand the notion of a general intelligence . It ' s general in the sense that is can hold conversations , draw pictures , read books , write sonnets , conduct experiments and much more . It isn ' t about being a polymath , it ' s about being ' generally intelligent ' in the same fashion as a young boy or girl is . So why not limit AI to some reasonable parameters and specific tasks from the outset . If we create an AGI , this will likely be one of the control strategies , but we have no idea how we would do this or how effective it would be .
