No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The reason your someone might have thought this was a stupid question is because
If some thing gets sold as an AGI, it will be a Mechanical Turk, As in, it will be a magic trick that actually uses human laborers like Amazon's "AI Store" where you just walk out with your purchases. "If it works, it's mechanical turks."
AGI isn't possible? You will need some proof for that.
Computers are already faster and more reliable than humans in lots of things, whe shouldn't they be better tomorrow?
He's saying there's no proof it is. Like there's no proof of God. Doesn't mean it isn't magically possible but in our reality there isn't a defined way. If there was we'd be there.
He says there is no evidence of possible AGI which is bs IMO.
What's the evidence?
That the human brain exists is enough evidence that intelligence is possible. An AGI similar to the human brain is then possible at a minimum
Can't say much more than that for sure, but you have a starting point.
Because intelligence exists, AGI similar to the human brain is possible? Your conclusion does not follow the premise.
Yes, absolutely. Because at a minimum we can recreate the human brain, as we know the human brain can exist.
You are talking funny friend… we can NOT recreate the human brain. Maybe someday, but so far it has not been demonstrated to be possible.
You say that we can recreate the human brain because we know the human brain can exist.
The sun can exist, can we recreate the sun?
In theory? Yes. That's the point. All I'm saying is that it's not literally impossible, why is it so hard to understand?
Because something has not yet been proven to be impossible does not make that thing possible.
Speculation alone does not make a thing possible. You cannot claim that something is possible until you have demonstrated that it is indeed possible.
All things that have not been proven to be possible have a default state of being impossible until their possibility can be demonstrated.
So you think it's an inevitability? Given enough time we will develop one?
The question wasn't whether it's inevitable, but whether it's possible
And the answer to whether it's possible is a clear: Yes, because we already have general intelligence
But it's very much not an inevitability, no. Civilization could always collapse before we get to that point, after all
Just because intelligence exists does not mean it is possible to artificially create general intelligence… we would need some evidence that AGI is possible other than ‘makes sense to me’
Well, here we need to specify what "artificial" in this equation means. Because to me it just means "created by humans" (so, not natural processes). It doesn't say anything about it not being able to be near-identical to natural brains
Gibberish, absolute gibberish.
