Yes, I joined this forum because I'm interested in artificial intelligence. I've met a lot of names and I like to hear the news, but in fact, everyone who makes perfectly reasonable comments like yours is attacked. this forum is mostly made up of sci fi lovers. if you had said that the singularity would happen next year and that you could date a jennifer lawrence robot you would have gotten a lot of likes

I think you described "validation", which is a kind of purpose. Purpose can be anything, run a marathon, learn a new skill, beat a game. lots of things that don't involve other people

I think people in this group are completely unhappy with life and that's why they create these fables. agi is coming and will change this horrible world. like those religious fanatics when they see something that is not visible and say that Christ is coming and is going to save the world. maybe a guy tomorrow, or next year or 2 or 3 from now, will find out how to achieve agi, but today nobody has any idea, what we have today will never be agi

finally

No

I think humans will still need a stimulus, something like a purpose. If one day we reach the stage you described, it wouldn't be crazy to imagine a total virtual reality. once you have it, maybe something like a rpg, nothing too easy and also nothing too impossible like real life

I don't think they show anything synchron hasn't already done

global economic crisis and probably someone talking that artificial general intelligence is near (it's not)
