Proof?


Well, you should show the proof that it is possible also, So it would be a draw.

I really think it is not possible to get that from a machine. You can improve and do much fancier than now.

But AGI would be something entirely different. It is a system that can do everything better than a human including creativity, which I believe it to be exclusively human as of now.

It can combine, simulate and reason. But think out of the box? I doubt so. It is different to being able to derive ideas from which human would create. For that it can be useful. But that would not be AGI.


The burden of proof is on the person who makes a claim, especially an absolute existential claim like that. You have failed the burden of proof and of intellectual honesty. Over and out.


You make the claim that AGI can exist, right? I make the claim it cannot. Both are claims, try to not manipulate the language. I acknowledge I started this but there is not a position that is better than the other.


P.S.

> You make the claim that AGI can exist, right?

No, I obviously never made any such claim ... all I said was "Proof?"

> I make the claim it cannot.

Which remains unsupported.

> try to not manipulate the language

Another false charge.

> I acknowledge I started this but there is not a position that is better than the other.

Again, only you made an absolute claim. Honesty is better than appalling dishonesty.
