Will AGI be one system, or the final boss that controls all the AI subsystems?

I think when AGI arrives, there will be so many AI tools out there we won't notice another one.

AGI seems like a moving goalpost target that always changes to whatever AI can't do today.



It’s going to be an ecosystem of intelligence, just like it already is today. The notion of “an intelligence” is going to go away.

The singularity is real and AGI is here —but it isn’t like some runaway single agent that self improves and takes over the world. Just wait till it all starts talking to each other, training each other, using each other, all in convergence with humans. It’s very real. And very weird.


Is there anything to stop them from using other against others? Will they start using humans as a tool too?


Yeah, once AI gets bank accounts (easy, via people), it can directly hire people.

Of course, arguably artificial intelligence is much older than this— and the bylaws of corporations constitute the algorithmic utilization of people.
