AGI/ASI should solve real-world problems, not just software, says Reddit post

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Reddit post on r/singularity suggests that true artificial general intelligence (AGI) or artificial superintelligence (ASI) should focus on solving tangible, real-world problems rather than solely optimizing software. The author lists several examples, including curing hair loss, regenerating teeth, solving plastic pollution, enabling rapid afforestation, and ending menstruation. The post also posits that AGI/ASI should be capable of resolving human conflicts through diplomacy and developing new food sources to move beyond traditional agriculture, emphasizing that these are physical challenges, not just software-based ones.
