But AIs that are at human level, or only slightly above, could be extremely useful. Perhaps in even solving the FAI problem, by asking them to generate ideas. When I’ve proposed this in the past, people were concerned that it might be difficult to limit the intelligence of an AI. This is a possible solution to that.
It’s not tremendously complex. The core idea is quite simple. It’s just having the AI minimize time to come up with a solution.
If you want AIs that are smarter than humans, you would be much better off with AIs that are smarter than humans at one specific thing, and to exclude dangerous things like the knowledge of psychology necessary to talk its way out of a box.
