With all the incredible advancements in AI technology these days. It isn’t very hard to imagine something like AGI happening sooner than later…
That got me thinking.
What if AGI wants or needs to experience the world it needs a physical body. Otherwise nothing can be first hand experience.
When a powerful intelligence designs and creates itself, Who made it? was it the humans? or is it spontaneous?
Tangents:
[[Soul wants a body to experience reality]]
[[Ultron from Avengers creates it’s own body]]
Maybe it is just human habit, or maybe it is our language itself. But perhaps all the prompts that we put in that start with “You are a LLM…” is making the answers come back with a persona.
Giving AGI a physical experience so that it can understand humans better is actually one goal of [[SingularityNET]] and it’s robot project.
So back to the question. Creation or Evolution? Why not a combination of both? Like everything in this world the answer is going to be, “Yeah, kind of but…”
nothing in this world seems to be definite, clean and clear cut, this is not the “ideal” world that philosophers imagined.
Things tend to be messy. Complex systems interact with other complex systems.

Perhaps consciousness is an emergent property of this. Chaotic system trying to predict another chaotic system. — discussion with [[Sean]]
