That would be like the ultimate zombie apocalypse.

I mean, so I, I, I would much rather in that case, that's right.

We have these beings which can really appreciate how amazing it is.

My hunch is that we should think of creativity simply as an aspect of intelligence.

And we have to be very careful with human vanity.

We have this tendency to very often want to say, as soon as machines can do something, we try to diminish it and say, oh, but that's not like real intelligence, you know, because they're not creative or this or that.

The other thing, if we ask ourselves to write down a definition of what we actually mean by being creative, what we mean by Andrew Wiles, what he did there, for example, don't we often mean that someone takes a very unexpected leap?

It's not like taking 573 and multiplying it by 224 by just a step of straightforward cookbook-like rules, right?

Maybe you make a connection between two things that people had never thought was connected.

It's very surprising.

Or something like that.

I think this is an aspect of intelligence.

And this is actually one of the most important aspects of it.

Maybe the reason we humans tend to be better at it than traditional computers is because it's something that comes more naturally if you're a neural network than if you're a traditional logic gate-based computer machine.

We physically have all these connections.

And if you activate here, activate here, activate here, bing!

My hunch is that if we ever build a machine

where you could just give it the task, say, hey, you say, hey, you know, I just realized I want to travel around the world instead this month.

Can you teach my AGI course for me?

And it's like, okay, I'll do it.
