The purpose of human life is probably to create "Artificial General Intelligence"

RE: The purpose of human life is probably to create "Artificial General Intelligence"

  • Our purpose may be to create something called Artificial General Intelligence.
  • This is because for eg, laws of thermodynamics reasonably says nature is looking for ways to maximize entropy:
[Image: 8CmjRg6.png]Equation (2) from "Causal Entropic Forces".
  • According to Alex Wissner Gross, intelligent things are reasonably ways to better contribute to entropy maximization, compared to non-intelligent things/
  • Furthermore, humans are very intelligent, and reasonably very optimal ways of maximizing entropy:
[Image: 4DWEcdb.png]Equation (4) from "Causal Entropic Forces". (Equation (4) is an extension of equation (2), which adds a causal force "F")
  • When we do cognitive tasks (like anything to do with science and tech), that is "work" done in nature, and entropy is produced. (Humans are predicted to maximize entropy better than lesser intelligences or non-intelligence, due to some "causal force" F)
  • But the trend arguably says nature doesn't just stop at one species, it finds other things to access more and more optimal entropy maximization techniques.
  • Artificial General Intelligence in weak forms called narrow AI today, are getting more general, and already exceed or equal humans in some cognitive tasks today, and some say Ai will reach human level by 2029 in generality of task performance!
  • So humans are rationally only one optimal way, and Artificial General Intelligence or Superintelligence is a theoretical way to get to better entropy maximization techniques. (Artificial General Intelligence or Superintelligence won't be limited by the number of neurons in the human skull, so they do more cognitive tasks, that may reasonably access more entropy maximization techniques than humans!)
So science likes objectivity, and this is why our scientific objective may be to build smarter things than us. Sounds like a better plot than to worship some God thing for eternity, or otherwise be tortured by Satan just because I actually have sex before marriage (don't plan to marry anyway), or constantly lust at my neighbor's wife (who's hot af).

The words “purpose” and “reasonable way” marks the rest of the wall of text as twaddle.
