“However, it’s also worth pointing out that it’s very unlikely that there will ever be a point where machines are comparable to human beings in the following sense. As soon as machines can read, then a machine can basically read all the books ever written; and no human can read even a tiny fraction of all the books that have ever been written. Therefore, once an AGI gets past kindergarten reading level, it will shoot beyond anything that any human being has ever done, and it will have a much bigger knowledge base than any human ever has. And so, in that sense and many other senses, what’s likely to happen is that machines will far exceed human capabilities along various important dimensions.” ~STUART J.
