Reply to comment by TheSecretAgenda in What is your opinion of what is going to happen between AGI and Singularity. by CertainMiddle2382

AGIs may come slowly if they are very resource-intensive. Say it costs $200 per day to run a brain-equivalent and massive server farms then it may not take over as fast as one would expect.

$200 a day for an AGI would be so dirt cheap comparatively that it would annihilate the entire jobmarket overnight. One AGI can replace dozens of people, if not much more. Even if the hardware alone costs $50k and the upkeep is $1000 a day for your own AGI, it would still be considered dirtcheap.

You need to consider that an AI "thinks" vastly faster than us in pretty much every conceivable way, i am talking a factor of 1000 times faster here, minimum. It could replace every single employee in a bank for example and it would be unbelievably more efficient at doing the work than even the best human team of workers in the history of banking.

I think you are thinking of an ASI while I am thinking of an AGI.

I think you're scaling AGI differently. It's human-level intelligence, but with all the advantages of a computational platform.

ASI is beyond human comprehension. It's a transcendent AI, a digital god, not ChatGPT+sapience.

Like all computing the price will come down.

Did you mean $200K? $200 doesn't seem like much at all.

I mean $200 per day per brain, so it would not replace workers earning less per day (say in Indonesia).

One AI could run an entire factory though that would make it price competitive.

Sure it could replace the manager, but it would require a super-human AI to replace all the workers.

Computers are very fast and can multitask.

I guess we'll see in the not-too-distant future.
