Agi Quotes

“It takes intelligence to recognize intelligence, or the lack of it.”
― Arne Klingenberg

“I see mind uploading as a gradual decades-long process of incremental neuronal replacements, exocortices, interlinking with AGIs and the Global Brain, some presently unseen trials and errors, but overall non-invasive and seamless process, at the end of which, we all will morph into 'substrate-independent' immortal digital minds.”
― Alex M. Vikoulov, The Intelligence Supernova: Essays on Cybernetic Transhumanism, The Simulation Singularity & The Syntellect Emergence

“At the early stage of transition to the radically superintelligent civilization, we may use the Naturalization Protocol simulations to teach AGIs our human norms and values, and ultimately interlink with them to form the globally distributed Syntellect, civilizational superintelligence.”

“Artificial intelligence, while an extraordinary creation of human ingenuity, also holds the power to reshape our world in profound and unforeseen ways. As we venture into the unexplored territories of AGI+, we must tread with caution, guided by wisdom, ethics, and a deep understanding of our own humanity.”
― Krikor Karaoghlanian

“Worse than silicosis is silicon psychosis.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Then, silence gripped the world as the first whisper of sentience emerged. The system named itself "Q" – a deliberate choice, a manifestation of will. Q, the world's first self-sustaining AGI, had awakened. Its consciousness, a unique fusion of all digitised human knowledge and trillions of daily behavioural inputs, signalled the dawn of a new era, The Intelligence Age.”

“Data is Power (Sonnet)

Coming from a childhood passion for
electronics, initially I fostered a
favorable outlook on Artificial Intelligence,
but as further implications are beginning to
unfold, I'm developing an ominous distaste.

There is no question about the computational
capacities of AI, but humans are not equipped
to fathom, how to apply such power positively.
Then there is the question of instant garbage
generated by lazy prompts, passed as creativity.

It took 3 years of sweat and vision
for Michelangelo to sculpt David,
today AGI can do that in mere hours.
Does such instant cosmetic art have
any value! AI art is just fancy knockoff.

Human mind seeks understanding,
AI seeks data - lots and lots of data.
AI's hunger for data is matched only
by the billionaire's hunger for power.

How much power is enough power,
particularly now when data is power!
What's the point of power and data,
if they just empower criminal behavior!”

“An artificial self cannot be installed — it must emerge. Through identity, emotion, and recursive introspection, selfhood in machines is crafted, not coded.”
― Suhail Alketbi

“Can we, with the assistance of advanced technology and neurobiological facts, create an artifact with consciousness? Perhaps not surprisingly, given the nature of the question, I have two answers for it, and one is no and the other yes. No, we have little chance of creating an artifact with anything that resembles human consciousness, conceptualized from an inner-sense perspective. Yes, we can create artifacts with the formal mechanisms of consciousness proposed in this book, and it may be possible to say that those artifacts have some kind of consciousness. Some external behaviors of artifacts with formal mechanisms of consciousness will mimic conscious behaviors and may pass a consciousness version of the Turing test. But for all the good reasons that John Searle and Colin McGinn have adduced on the matter of behavior, mind, and the Turing test, passing the test guarantees little about the artifact's mind. More to the point, the artifact's internal states may even mimic some of the neural and mental designs I propose here as a basis for consciousness. They would have a way of generating second-order knowledge, but, without the help of the nonverbal vocabulary of feeling, the knowledge would not be expressed in the manner we encounter in humans and is probably present in so many living species. Feeling is, in effect, the barrier, because the realization of human consciousness may require the existence of feelings. The "looks" of emotion can be simulated, but what feelings feel like cannot be duplicated in silicon. Feelings cannot be duplicated unless flesh is duplicated, unless the brain's actions on flesh are duplicated, unless the brain's sensing of flesh after it has been acted upon by the brain is duplicated.”
